What you should see is: #v+ andrew(a)skamandros~$ telnet localhost 119 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 200 Leafnode NNTP daemon, version 2.0.0.alpha20081229a at skamandros.andrews-corner.org quit 205 Always happy to serve! Connection closed by foreign host. #v- with your own fqdn of course instead of skamandros.andrews-corner.org. Just check that you have the correct paths to both tcpd and leafnode in xinetd.conf: #v+ server = /usr/sbin/tcpd server_args = /usr/local/sbin/leafnode #v- as this might explain why leafnode is not loaded. Another thought is a guide that actually deals in some depth with Leafnode 1 rather than 2 and also has a few words about xinetd: Using Leafnode as a caching news proxy http://homepage.ntlworld.com/garryknight/linux/leafnode.html All the best, Andrew -- Do you think that's air you're breathing?

I learnt it the hard way BUT the good news is it works right now. I could connect to the server and slrn found group listings. I seem to have an issue in posting but I may need some more reading ahead of me, and I also have to go back and turn on hosts files just in case. Thank you, I needed another head to figure this out. I hope the next few steps will work ok but seriously GREAT start. Could I ask you two more things? 1) could I use your wiki entry and change the info for Arch linux doc?(giving you permission for the majority of the document)? 2) does the second version give any benifit a normal user would want/need (that you know of)? The only thing I could think of is if it had ssl -- "'Bill Gates can't guarantee Windows, so how in the HELL can you guarantee our safety!' --John Crichton (Farscape)"

You need this line in hosts.allow: leafnode: 127.0.0.1 and in hosts.deny: leafnode: ALL (That will block any attempt to access your Leafnode apart from the computer on which Leafnode is running). -- -- ^^^^^^^^^^ -- Whiskers -- ~~~~~~~~~~

I mean for a short time, I commented ALL the entries including /etc/hosts.allow BUT thats no longer the case and it seems to be working ok so far. More time is needed to play, and get posting work -- "'Bill Gates can't guarantee Windows, so how in the HELL can you guarantee our safety!' --John Crichton (Farscape)"

Feel free to use whatever you want from that guide. You may be interested to know that I maintain a slightly more technical page on the same subject for Slackware 13: Slackware 13.0 and Leafnode-2 http://www.andrews-corner.org/leafnode.html as a support for an installation script I wrote for slackbuilds.org, perhaps this might be better to plunder than the Ubuntu page? > 2) does the second version give any benifit a normal user would > want/need (that you know of)? The only thing I could think of is if it > had ssl For my own usage Leafnode 2 offers better filtering (from the remote NNTP server) and also allows 'expensive' scoring from within slrn. I am sure there are other improvements but to tell the truth I have not used leafnode 1 for some years so I am not completely clear on what now represents better function in the development version :).
