[leafnode-list] Fix broken for broken STAT command on NNTP Cache server



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I noticed this morning that my posts to the NTL news caches had stopped
working. This seems to be because the greeting on the cache servers has
changed so that the fix for the broken STAT command no longer works.

The old greeting was:

200 ntl NNTP news cache. posting ok (feedback to
nntptrial-feedback@xxxxxxxx)

This has now changed on the NTL servers to:

200 ntl NNTP news cache (feedback to nntptrial-feedback@xxxxxxxx)

I have fixed it by changing the code in nntputil.c at line 240 (in
version leafnode-1.9.43.rel). The old code was:

    /* reported to be necessary by
     * Robert Marshall <robert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
     * nc news.cache.ntlworld.com 119
     * 200 ntl NNTP news cache. posting ok (feedback to
nntptrial-feedback@xxxxxxxx)
     * quit
     * 205 NNTP Service closing connection - goodbye!
     */
    { "NNTP news cache.", 1 },

I have changed the last line to:

    { "NNTP news cache", 1 },

Sorry I didn't do a patch, but I'm not very experienced with patches.

Cheers,

Grahame
