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. |
