I have also been bitten by the change of news server software. I was using (r)tin on the shell server of my ISP and this stopped working due to the already reported incompatibilities. Today I switched to slrn and it works. I can even read other groups without authorizing. I have not checked what NNTP commands slrn uses, but I thought this information might help some people.
