Subj : MBNNTP

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.  :-)
