#110: innd and nnrpd do not advertise IHAVE for the entire session
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  iulius   |       Owner:  eagle     
     Type:  defect   |      Status:  new       
 Priority:  low      |   Milestone:            
Component:  general  |     Version:  2.5.0     
 Severity:  minor    |    Keywords:  compliance
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 According to RFC 3977, section 3.4.1:

     Except as an effect of the MODE READER command (Section 5.3) on a
 mode-switching server, once a server advertises either or both of the
 IHAVE or READER capabilities, it MUST continue to advertise them for the
 entire session.

 If IHAVE has been advertised, it will not necessarily be advertised for
 the entire session.  innd and nnrpd only advertise the IHAVE capability
 when it is really available.

 Impact:  Probably none.  It is sort of a weird edge case, since having
 such basic commands disappear after authentication is a little odd and
 would require an unusual configuration.  It is probably not worth fixing.
 Besides, such a fix seems to partly defeat the point of the capability
 system.
