I reported the no-auth thing to them. Their first level support drone never bothered to actually read my reports or understand the network traces I sent, and kept sending me "reboot, fix firewall" idiocy. But they did change the capabilities they were announcing at that point. Posting did work in the past. I haven't kept track of client and gn server behavior in enough detail to report the details, but refused posting after auth (which I force with -A on all sessions) is new in the last week or so. A workaround is welcome news. De -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
