can you paste your leafnode config file into an email? On Friday 29 March 2002 06:34 am, you wrote:
I installed leafnode and it seams to work, just that fetchnews doesn't work. I activated the debug mode and the log file below shows that the upstream server requires a password ("<381 PASS required") and within the same second emits an Authentication error ("<502 Authentication error").
I would interpret it as an error of the upstream server to expect a response within less than a second from a dialup connection, but with Netscape I can access newsgroups.
Any idea, link, help? The fetchnews debug log follows.
