i was playing around trying to write a java program to download an
active list from a news server.
talking to inn2 on the localhost, my program keeps getting:
500 Syntax error or bad command
for anything i do, like `list active' or `help'.
i can issue the command fine when i telnet to 119, but netcat exhibits
the same behavior as my broken java program.
why does netcat localhost 119 give me the 500 error when trying to
issue commands to inn2 and telnet doesn't?
this is an up-to-date debian unstable box on an i386.
thanks.
