Bug#432305: knode: misreports "connection refused" as "no such file or directory"
Package: knode
Version: 4:3.5.7-1
Severity: normal
When knode tries to connect to an NNTP server that does not accept
connections at the current time, it says "no such file or directory".
This is a wrong, misleading error message for the user, while it may
be technically correct ("everything is a file").
It also does not say which "file" it was trying to access which made
debugging just a little more harder.
Greetings
Marc
