As either root or user I start gnus and it seems to hang for a while, but eventually I get the message:
nnetp (news.snet.sbcglobal.net) open error: ''. continuue? If I continue, my subscribed newsgroups are listed, but without any readable messages. For example: * linux.debian.user Once when I tried to download messages in that group, the group name was replaced with: *: e100: 3th0: e100_watchdog: link up, 100Mbps, full duplex Could it be that I'm no longer being authenticated to the news server? I'm forced to work from console because my X server won't start either because it insists on creating a new authority file (~/.serverauth.3044) that neither shows up nor works.
