It can also be used to give a regular newsreader -off-line functionality. - -There is some work to do to install this program effectively, all -of which is clearly set out in the README file contained in the -documents. It is strongly advised that you read this file thoroughly -before installing Leafnode 2. In summary you will need to: - -1. Ensure $NNTPSERVER or /etc/nntpserver points to 'localhost'. -2. Set /etc/inetd.conf so leafnode is executed for incoming NNTP connections. -3. Set /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow to protect the server. -4. Create /etc/leafnode/config and adjust settings as required. -5. Set cronjobs for fetchnews and texpire. -6. Fetch the newsgroup list from the upstream server. -7. Set your newsreader to use 'localhost'. - -Future versions of Leafnode 2 will have access to the lua programming / -scripting language so we will be sitting tight with this particular version -of Leafnode 2 until the lua-enabled version has matured a little. |
