I think the following provides fair clue. It'll give me plenty to read, anyway. I'd like to see a top down overview that gets into things from this angle, but I don't think one is available that is in any way current. I know that entering a domain name in Yast makes leafnode happy. sgt:~ # fetchnews -vv leafnode 1.11.11: verbosity level is 2, debugmode is 0 try_lock(timeout=5), fqdn="sgt.decathlon.org" reader80.eternal-september.org: connecting to port 80... reader80.eternal-september.org: connected to 144.76.35.198:80, reply: 200 reader80.eternal-september.org: connected. [...] It won't do that if it doesn't get that "fqdn" (from Yast in this case). The whole stack, or chain, or pile of software involved can get pretty confusing. For instance, Yast>Network Settings>Hostname/DNS shows "Name Server 1 is 8.8.8.8. Why? Because I entered that in Network Manager's configuration for a particular interface, and that was done because Sprint DNS munges entries.
