Modified Files:
exec/nntpservice.js
Log Message:
Respond with the (RFC3977) 480 response when authentication is required

instead of the RFC977 502. Reportedly, this will trigger Thunderbird to prompt for or send client credentials. This should fix issue #208.

480, not 502

Log Message:
Close any open message base after input timeout (5 minutes)

As Nelgin pointed out, the nntpservice can leave a message bases open while
a client is idle. Normally, an inactive client would be disconnected after 5 minutes of inactivity, so that wouldn't be much of an issue. However, if authenticated as a user with the H-exemption, no auto-disconnection after
input timeout would happen. So let's close any open message base for good measure.

The input/receive timeout probably should be configurable and lowered to
a smaller duration (one minute?). I'll leave that for another commit.

Log Message:
Close an open message base after just 10 seconds of client inactivity

... and log a debug-level log message when doing so.

The current input/receive timeout duration (5 minutes) might be a bit long to leave a message base open (though, there's no known issue with doing so). For example, when users read message bases using the terminal server, they can sit for much longer than 5 minutes reading an open message base.
