Hi guys, Does anyone know if there is a problem with leafnode that comes with Suse 7.2? I have used leafnode in 7.1 with no problems but for some reason I cant get it working properly in 7.2. I have done all the things outlined in /usr/share/doc/packages/leafnode/readme suse fetchnews worked ok and got the newsgroup list but when i try to use knode or pine to hook up to localhost it won't let me. It says connection refused. Is there a way to know if leafnode is being started by the inetd.conf file? Do I have to add anything to the hosts.allow file? Thanks, Glenn

I have mine in /etc/hosts.deny as

leafnode : ALL EXCEPT LOCAL 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0

arrange as necessary

Thanks, Tried that but still no go :( I have tried ps -A|grep leafnode but it doesn't show up. Should it? Glenn

Check your /etc/inetd.conf look for

nntp stream tcp nowait news /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/leafnode

if not there added (could be commented also) then restart inetd as root

rcinetd restart

then try telnet localhost 119 (news port) if works then enjoy leafnode (remember to configure /etc/leafnode/config also)

Thanks! Got it going ok. I didn't uncomment it properly in the inetd.conf file although I would have sworn that I had :) Thanks again. Glenn
