after a knode update earlier this week I started getting this message on all attempts to access a news group on my ISPs server. I have used this news server for three years. I’ve checked my account and all is configured correctly. I talked to the ISP and they claim no changes have been made.
I actually have accounts going to three other news groups on different servers and none get errors, NONE use Authentication. Here’s: the error message:
Internal Error
Please send a full bug report at http://bugs.kde.org
Unexpected server response to GROUP command:
502 Authentication Failed
Before reporting as bug, has anyone else experienced this?

As far as I have been able to find out this is a bug in Knode that is being looked at, it does not seem to send (?) the username and pass to the server ( have not looked into it too much yet though ) I just use thunderbird for the accounts that need auth`ing.

Thanks that’s what I suspected. I only have one news group out of four that uses Authentication. Others work fine.
please post anything you find and I will do the same.
