Hello,

As I'm (having a hard time) configuring an INN server, I'm using Sylpheed
and telnet to verify stuff on my config files.  But I'm getting errors with
Sylpheed, and not with telnet, except if I do exactly as Sylpheed does.

This is what Sylpheed does (from the log windows):

* creating NNTP connection to localhost:119 ...
[22:36:03] NNTP< 200 soyuz InterNetNews server INN 2.4.1 ready
[22:36:03] NNTP> AUTHINFO USER basco
[22:36:03] NNTP< 381
[22:36:03] NNTP> AUTHINFO PASS ********
[22:36:03] NNTP< 281
[22:36:03] NNTP> GROUP soyuz.primeiralista
[22:36:03] NNTP< 502 Permission denied
[22:36:03] NNTP> MODE READER
[22:36:04] NNTP< 200 soyuz InterNetNews NNRP server INN 2.4.1 ready (posting
ok). [22:36:04] NNTP> GROUP soyuz.primeiralista
[22:36:04] NNTP< 411 No such group soyuz.primeiralista
** can't select group: soyuz.primeiralista



And this is what I do via telnet:

$ telnet localhost nntp
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
200 soyuz InterNetNews server INN 2.4.1 ready
mode reader
200 soyuz InterNetNews NNRP server INN 2.4.1 ready (posting ok).
authinfo user basco
381 PASS required
authinfo pass *****
281 Ok
group soyuz.primeiralista
211 13 1 13 soyuz.primeiralista
GROUP soyuz.primeiralista
211 13 1 13 soyuz.primeiralista
quit
205 .
Connection closed by foreign host.


But notice that Sylpheed first authenticates, tries to select a group and
then it switches do reader mode, and so it fails.  going to reader mode
before selecting the group seems to succeed.  From the telnet session:

$ telnet localhost nntp Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
200 soyuz InterNetNews server INN 2.4.1 ready
authinfo user basco
381
authinfo pass basco
281
group soyuz.primeiralista
502 Permission denied
mode reader
200 soyuz InterNetNews NNRP server INN 2.4.1 ready (posting ok).
group soyuz.primeiralista
411 No such group soyuz.primeiralista
quit
205 .
Connection closed by foreign host.


Is this a bug?

Regards.
