authentication questions

I know from the documentation, it's possible to authenticate using PAM.  That
authentication gives you access to all the newsgroups on a server.  is it
possible to restrict specific newsgroups to subset of the entire user population?

Not at the moment, that's on the TODO list.

 so, you're telling me that if I need it, I should roll up my sleeves etc..  :-)

Seriously, could this be done from the lua extension environment or do I need to
relearn C/C++? [1]

[1] I asked because programming by voice is extremely iffy and currently
dependent on how language is express programming concepts.  the C derived
languages tend to have too much special character fungus to be programed by
speech and either aggravates RSI or damages your throat.  Python, in contrast,
is quite usable when writing code via speech recognition.

Feel free, but I'm not expecting that, particularly not if you suffer
from RSI.

C for the nonce; WRT the Lua extension, that's for Clemens to answer. I
haven't yet had the time to fully understand the Lua extension's
capabilities.

Wrong reply to ARTICLE command: "412 no group selected"


Hello,

Ive not been using leafnode very long and have come across this error
"Wrong reply to ARTICLE command: "412 no group selected""
There are thousands of occurrences of this error when receiving news articles.
I am receiving new posts ok but these errors are from trying to get older posts.

Is this an error caused by the news server im getting my news from or is it caused
by leafnode itself? and what does the error mean?
