Re: nntpservice delay on connect

I am experiencing delay when connecting to the nntp service.
It only happens to me with this one.
The rest of the js services respond perfectly and banners when
connecting to their ports.
There is no firewall rule regarding this port.
I still can't find what's going on. Nothing appears in the sbbs log
until the connection is made after a certain time.
any experienced problems with the nnstservice.js ?
You could try adding some log() lines to nntpservice.js to find out if it's event executing immediately upon connect?
If it's not, enabling debug-level log output for the services server and pasting that log output here would be helpful. e.g.
4/15 12:05:58p 7608 NNTP connection accepted from: 71.95.196.36 port 55342
4/15 12:05:58p 7608 NNTP JavaScript service thread started
4/15 12:06:03p 7608 NNTP Hostname: synchro.net [71.95.196.36]
4/15 12:06:04p 7608 NNTP Logging in Guest
That 5 second delay there between "JavaScript service thread started" and reporting the hostname (of the client) is likely just the DNS name resolution. That's followed by ip*.can and host.can filter file checking. And then of course, if there's been any failed login attempts from the client IP, that could invoke some throttling (delays). So there are a lot of opportunities for delay in this process and the log output should provide you the clues you need to find out what those are in your case.
