Regarding anonymous Usenet reading (vs. posting), what kind of logging do most nntpd's perform ? I've never had the opportunity to setup nntp daemon softwarez so I have nada idea as to the level of default logging that they perform by default, or how they can be tweaked further. Is it possible to log HEAD and BODY requests for individual articles in individual newsgroups along with a userid on the clients end ? Worse, can the ip address of the client newsreader software be logged along with its individual nntp commands ? What I'm thinking about is that there might be a massive potential for piercing a users anonymity through the examination of such logs, but since I don't know what kind of logging the major news server packages perform by default I don't know how much of a threat this type of scenario would be. Any news gurus out there ? Forgive me for the amateurish sound of this message, I think that these issues are sort of germane the larger set of anonymity issues associated with usenet.
