I'm having a strange problem with nntp working sporadically. In testing, I
telnet'ed to nntp directly and tried some experiments. This is one thing
I've seen that I can't figure out. Here's the transcript:

The temp file it's indicated above is a partial listing of the usenet
account's passwd entry! Does anyone know what's going on?
