Re: slrn and leafnode
I've just started using tin and leafnode. I'm finding that I need to
use rtin rather than tin, pointed at localhost.
Hmmm... Ok, just installed slrn:
slrn -h localhost
or
slrn -h hostname
You might want to look under /var/spool/news to see that you actually
have groups and items listed for you to read. I did get an error
trying to read from an empty group. Not sure what's going on.
