Hello,

I am very new to this group and I do not know that I post to
the right group or not. I use SuSE 8.0 with inn-2.3.2-31. I
try to telnet to my news server but it says as below:
$ telnet mynewsserver 119
Trying 203.144.68.7...
Connected to mynewsserver.
Escape character is '^]'.
502 You have no permission to talk.  Goodbye.
Connection closed by foreign host.
but when I  `telnet localhost 119`, it works fine.
I would like to ask you why can't I telnet mynewsserver 119 by
using the computername?

Thanks,

Choth
