have been using alt.binz for a long time, well anway I use Usenet, and they never required a login/password befor.
log says its giving me a status code: 480
and again in the log it says Im conected but I dont see anywehere about authenticatd or asking for a password/login.
When authorization is required, the server will send a 480 response requesting authorization
google "480 nntp"
