Well, an nntp server has been on my "sort of want to try" list for some time.Every time I look at the discussion group, I think how much faster it is for me to scan the usenet groups that to read either the userland discussion group or slashdot.
NNTP was a cool system. Distributed fault tolerant networking. Unfortunately, authentication never was one of its strong points.
