#9 auto-subscribe broken

[Mike Williams]

Since upgrading to Noffle 1.1.2 (from CVS), auto-subscribe appears to be broken.

The following NNTP session-logs demonstrate the difference in behaviour between v-1.0.1 and 1.1.2.
"alt.foo.bar" is an unsubscribed group:

$ nc 0 nntp
200 NNTP server NOFFLE 1.1.2
GROUP alt.foo.bar
211 0 0 0 alt.foo.bar selected
quit
205 Goodbye

$ nc 0 nntp
200 NNTP server NOFFLE 1.0.1
GROUP alt.foo.bar
211 4 1525 1528 alt.foo.bar selected
quit
205 Goodbye

I can't reproduce this here.

jim@hagrid:~$ telnet localhost nntp
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
200 NNTP server NOFFLE 1.1.2
group alt.foo.bar
211 1 1565 1565 alt.foo.bar selected
quit
205 Goodbye

What does

noffle -g | grep alt.foo.bar

report?

It seems to be something about being online ... for example:

$ noffle -g | grep ^nz.general
nz.general news.ozemail.com.au 538368 538367 -1 y 2002-06-22 13:56:56 1970-01-01 10:00:00
General information, announcements, etc

$ noffle -o
NOFFLE is already offline

$ nc 0 nntp
200 NNTP server NOFFLE 1.1.2
GROUP nz.general
211 1 538368 538368 nz.general selected

$ noffle -n
NOFFLE is now online

$ nc 0 nntp
200 NNTP server NOFFLE 1.1.2
GROUP nz.general
211 0 0 0 nz.general selected
