Subject: foreign NNTP with nntp-port-number?
Date: 21 Apr 2000 21:48:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3r9bzxmkk.fsf@SnowWhite.inet.cz> (raw)

Hi,

we at Masaryk's University in Brno have NNTP server with write access only for
our B class network. So when I'm not at school (which is most almost everytime
:-) I must use our authenticated NNTP server which is running on different
port (1119). There are groups to which I'll never send any post (like jokes or
similar :-)) so I have them from normal NNTP server on 119. I use agent of
course. From time to time gnus is trying to fetch groups like:

Opening nntp server on news.muni.cz+nntp+news.muni.cz:cz.muni.fi...
Opening nntp server on news.muni.cz+nntp+news.muni.cz:cz.muni.fi-unix...

Which is BAD...

I have also this in my *Messages* now:

Retrieving newsgroup: nntp+news.muni.cz:cz.muni.fi...
Opening nntp server on news.muni.cz+nntp+news.muni.cz:cz.muni.fi...

Fetching headers for nntp+news.muni.cz:cz.muni.fi...
Fetching headers for nntp+news.muni.cz:cz.muni.fi...done

The group is written like this in gnus-newsrc-alist in newsrc.eld:

("nntp+news.muni.cz:cz.muni.fi" 3 ((1 . 3728)) ((save 3540 3641 3671) (reply
3462)) (nntp "news.muni.cz" (nntp-port-number 1119)))

And there is also this directory in my gnus-agent-directory:

SnowWhite:/home/pavel/Mail/Agent/nntp$ ls -1d news.muni.cz*
news.muni.cz
news.muni.cz+nntp+news.muni.cz:cz.muni.fi
news.muni.cz+nntp+news.muni.cz:cz.muni.fi-unix
SnowWhite:/home/pavel/Mail/Agent/nntp$ 

:-(( I think there is a bug somewhere when agent is trying to manage this
group with nntp-port number... Other info on request. You can try in on
news.muni.cz port 1119 yourself. You can read everything from it (hopefully)
but you can nor post.
