   A long time ago I started looking at mbnntp and played with using a newsgroup   
   client to access the various echo's on my system, but unfortunately most of   
   my work was lost with a hard drive crash on my development workstation about   
   a year ago.  Now that I'm starting to look at things again, I'm reminded that   
   mbnntp barely supports the basics when it comes to NNTP commands.  It doesn't   
   implement much of RFC 977, only AUTHINFO and XOVER (barely) from RFC 2980,   
   and RFC 3977 wasn't even published when it was written.   
      
   My question:  Is anyone doing any work on mbnntp?  If I do get around to   
   actually reading the RFC's and attempting to get them implemented in mbnntp,   
   is anyone willing to look over my code to make sure I don't introduce security   
   issues?   
      
   I've got a strong history as a SysAdmin (which includes debugging developers   
   code), but my coding is more of a hobby.  It seems that I have to re-teach   
   myself C every time I do work on MBSE.  :-)
