you can recompile tin with -DDEBUG added to your $CFLAGS (or set in
src/Makefile) and then start tin with

tin -rD 1 [-A]

and have a look at /tmp/NNTP - the file should contain the data tin sends
and the answer from the server (your username and password in plaintext -
remember to mask them before posting the logfile ,-)

	egrep '^[<>]+' /tmp/NNTP | head

should look like

<<<: 20X news.example.org
>>>: LIST EXTENSIONS
<<<: 480 Authentication required for command
>>>: AUTHINFO GENERIC ANY $USER
<<<: 501 user Name|pass Password
>>>: AUTHINFO USER $NEWSAUTHUSER
<<<: 381 PASS required
>>>: AUTHINFO PASS $NEWSAUTHPASSWORD
<<<: 281 Ok
>>>: LIST EXTENSIONS
