ConnectionErrors¶

There are a few possible errors endusers can get upon connecting with a NNTPSwitch server.

482 Authentication Rejected¶

This is most likely a wrong username and/or password.

482 Authentication Temporarily Unavailable¶

This means that the authentication server can not be reached. Check your error logs (<tt>news.err</tt>) for details. This is either a misconfigured authentication option, or a temporarily network or system error.

482 Too many connections in your class¶

This means the profile the user should be put into is full. Probably the MaxProfileConnections is too low.

482 Too many users in your class¶

Same as above, but the number of users for the profile is full instead of the number of connections. Check MaxProfileUsers.

482 Too many connections for your user¶

The enduser is opening too many connections. Each user can normally open 10 or 20 concurrent connections. Check MaxUserConccurent

482 Too many connections for your host¶

The enduser is opening too many connections or multiple users are connected from the same host. Each user can normally open 10 or 20 concurrent connections. Check MaxHostConccurent in this case.

482 You are already connected from a different host¶

This happens if the SingleHostUser option is set and the user is already logged in from another host.

Notes¶

If a user connects using acl based access most of the same errors can appear, but with a 400 error code.
