Subject: Question on anonymous (#news, #ftp, etc)

Hello,

I have recently setup a news server on my machien and would like to use imap 
to access the #news for anonymous logins. I believe anonymous logins are 
corerectly enabled (I have tested and you can as well  - server is 
uslinuxtraining.com ). Anyways, for some reason no matter what I do I can not 
get the #news to show up as a valid folder.

I run SuSE Linux, imap version:

 thebox:/var/log # imapd
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4REV1 STARTTLS LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=LOGIN 
AUTH=ANONYMOUS] thebox.pandmservices.com IMAP4rev1 2000.287 at Thu, 3 Jan 
2002 08:29:22 -0500 (EST)

I have the /etc/anonymous.newsgroups file in place.

Can anyone tell me what may be wrong?

Thanks,
Chris

Your server is working fine for me:
