--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 The NNTP protocol uses whitespace as a command and argument separator,
 which means that passwords containing whitespace don't work.  The generic
 NNTP parser in nnrpd throws away the tail end of the password or produces
 a syntax error.

 However, since the password is the last argument, we can hack around this
 problem.  Here's a patch from Jeffrey M. Vinocur from 2001 that implements
 that fix, which may require some updating.
