Odd stuff in the server buffer

Odd stuff in the server buffer

[Darren/Torin/Who Ever...]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I get a few groups that are only accessible from io.com.  This is
generally not a problem and often works better than my main server.

Today, after offsitenntp.io.com was down for a while, I went into the
server buffer and pressed 'R' (gnus-server-remove-denials).  Well, I
went back to the *Group* buffer and pressed 'g'.  I was then prompted to
enter the password about five times before I finally hit C-g.  I looked
in the server buffer and saw this:
     {nntp:offsitenntp.io.com} (denied)
     {nntp:offsitenntp.io.com+nntp+offsitenntp.io.com:io.games.sjg.gurps.mage} (opened)
     {nntp:offsitenntp.io.com+nntp+offsitenntp.io.com:io.games.sjg.gurps.iou} (opened)
     {nntp:offsitenntp.io.com+nntp+offsitenntp.io.com:io.games.sjg.gurps.discworld} (opened)
     {nntp:offsitenntp.io.com+nntp+offsitenntp.io.com:io.admin.announce} (opened)
     {nntp:offsitenntp.io.com} (opened)

The only one that I can edit is the first that was still denied and it
has the following:
(nntp "offsitenntp.io.com"
      (nntp-server-opened-hook nntp-send-authinfo)
      (nntp-authinfo-function nntp-send-authinfo))

The list of groups above is a reverse order list of the groups I'm
subscribed to on the offsitenntp.io.com folder.


Where did these other groups come from?  Why can't I do anything to
them?  No kill, no edit, no nuthin'.

This was all fixed when I exited and re-entered though.

The server buffer will list all servers Gnus has ever heard of.
Usually most of these aren't editable, because there's nothing there
to edit.

As for where they come from -- Gnus believes that you have lots of
distinct virtual nntp servers, for some reason or other.

Any idea why gnus might think that I have multiple virtual nntp servers
instead of just the one that's the same across the 12 groups?  I noticed
in .newsrc.eld that the info for that server (offsitenntp.io.com) was
duplicated in the group information for every group.  I thought it just
put the virtual server name in there.

Nope.

Could you mail me the `G E' output from a couple of these groups?

That's what it's supposed to do.
