That is for the reporter of the problem... But I need to make a fix in the mailman .deb package for debian potato before potato is released... :)
Ok, well, because the reader attempting the 'group' command, in cron/gate_news, isn't using authorization, we can just send the 'mode reader' command when we get the error 500. The attached patch should work, I think. It fixes the first call to 'group' instead of the constructor of nntplib.NNTP, so it should be usable with all nntplib version.
That patch would not apply here, as I believe I just posted to your list as well with my previous mail.
I'm not sure if gate_news in the Debian packages differs from the CVS version or not however. Gergely?
