problem with leafnode and gnus
Hello all,
I'm having trouble setting up leafnode to read news.
I installed leafnode w/o problems, followed the configuration
described in the README and README.debian files, as well as an article
in Linux Gazette #9. This article told me to log into my news server,
run 'fetch' as root, start a news reader, subscribe to interesting
groups, run fetch again. This should do it, according to the article.
However, after subscribing to c.o.l.misc and c.o.l.advocacy with gnus,
I run fetch. It takes a long time. I check /var/spool/news, and see
lots of directories for alt, gnu, soc, and uk. I don't want this. I
abort. When I try to find something in the groups to which I've
subscribed -- bubkis, nada, The Big Empty. Gnus cannot even open the
groups. Netscape returns a pane with "syntax error".
Any ideas?
I've set gnus to fetch mail from 'localhost', as per orders.
As far as I know, the news server I'm using is standard issue.
I can read the news sucked down with the command
find /var/spool/news/comp -name '[0-9]*' -exec cat {} \; | more
but I find this a little tiring...
/g.
