I was looking into the `Gnus: *Gnus Browse Server* {nntp:narad}'
buffer. And I had cross-checked with the gmane nntp newsgroups list, to
be sure I was right.

The nntp-log says:
    
    20151222T221526.723 narad.iitk.ac.in MODE READER
    20151222T221546.845 narad.iitk.ac.in LIST

    20151222T221546.874 narad.iitk.ac.in LIST
    
But still there is no newsgroup in the list

This seems to be the most crucial tool suggested into the thread. The
ngrep during server close and open showed the following:

  200 narad InterNetNews NNRP server INN 2.5.3 ready (no posting)..

Does it mean that the nntp server is not sending any newsgroups in the
list?
