Hi...
I'm not sure where I should post this, so I'm going to post it
here and the nn newsgroup...
Using nn 6.5.3, recompiled today out of ports on FreeBSD 3.3-RC,
if I run nn, news.notice shows me:
Sep 9 11:02:21 athena nnrpd[11863]: SERVER perl filtering enabled
Sep 9 11:02:21 athena nnrpd[11863]: atelier.acadiau.ca connect
Sep 9 11:02:24 athena nnrpd[11863]: atelier.acadiau.ca group acadia.comp.misc 0
Sep 9 11:02:24 athena nnrpd[11863]: atelier.acadiau.ca group acadia.comp.unix 0
Sep 9 11:02:24 athena nnrpd[11863]: atelier.acadiau.ca times user 0.660 system 0.290 elapsed 3.108
Notice the two acadia.comp.* groups that say "0"? The
acadia.comp.unix one, at least, should have showed me one artile (number
176), which I can get at using a simple telnet session:
telnet athena.acadiau.ca nntp

Is this more secure than an .htaccess file with a DirectoryIndex statement,
which loads a specified document when a directory is accessed without a
filename?

And I can get using tin...
If I go into my .newsrc and reset my pointers so that it says that
articles 1-174 are read (leaving two articles), I get both 175 and 176
listed...but if I reset it to 1-175, it comes back with a simple:

I'm doubting its an INN related issue, but figured I'd be safe trying to
hit both sides, just in case its something I may be overlooking...but it
*seems* like its a 'if count > 1, provide index' sort of issue, where it
should be 'if count >= 1, provide index'...but I just want to make sure...
