--- Comment #4 from Carlos Robinson ---
I'll record here the changes that I had to do to get it running.
There is a documentation directory /usr/share/doc/packages/leafnode; read at
least "CHANGES-FROM-LEAFNODE-1", and README-SUSE.rst. Somethings are in NEWS.
Adapt the config file /etc/leafnode/config
Make sure it is owned by news:news
Symlink /var/spool/news to ./leafnode (doc says to rename, but it works with
old /var/spool/news; I symlink just in case).
Make sure that syslog has enabled the section for news log. Program can be very
verbose.
Run "texpire -r". Can take an hour or more in rotating rust. Disk intensive.
Run as news user fetchnews - long operation. Maybe delay to after daily.timer
run:
sudo -u news /usr/sbin/fetchnews -v
create override for leafnode-hourly.timer:
[Timer]
OnUnitActiveSec=5min
Because default is every hour.
systemctl enable --now leafnode-hourly.service, leafnode-hourly.timer,
leafnode-daily.timer.
maybe wait for daily to run.
Make sure leafnode.socket is not enabled, because it doesn't work. Instead,
create old style "/etc/xinetd.d/leafnode", or reuse from version 1:
service nntp
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = news
server = /usr/sbin/leafnode
bind = 127.0.0.1
}
Then force xinet to read the file by restarting xinet service.
Run as news user fetchnews:
sudo -u news /usr/sbin/fetchnews -v
On Thunderbird, click on subscribe, then refresh to group list. Otherwise, it
claims when contacting the server that there are no groups found.
HTH.
