There was a problem with NEWGROUPS command. I think it has been fixed.
Also, added a system property to help debug the protocol.
With the latest cvs code, if System property
apache.nntpserver.debug==true
then a lot of output is written into the nntp specific log file.

I have updated news.kodemuse.com with cvs code and
apache.nntpserver.debug==true. Rhys you may want to do get the fixes in
NNTPHandler.java from CVS and if you want set apache.nntpserver.debug==true
in the run script

Haven't tried the 'New Groups' option in KNode yet. (Access problem.) Hope
to that soon.
'New Groups' command seems to work with python nntplib, so I have some
confidence.

I have wiped out the repository. It may be a good idea to wipe the news
server and create a new one. There may be cached articles from earlier
repository.
news.kodemuse.com is not a hard name, If you like you can choose
news1.kodemuse.com as the server name.

> Also can James specify descriptions for newsgroups ?
James cannot specify the description. Group description cannot be read from
the config.xml or stored in repository.
But the protocol server, does return the description. The description
returned for a group is the same as name of a group.
It is probably a little bit of work to add description, but not too much.
Do you think it would be a good thing to do ?

Cheers,
Harmeet
