I'm trying out leafnode. It produces a huge database in /var/spool/news containing all the news groups on the server I connect to (about 25,500). I succeeded in getting it to connect to selected groups and threads; so far, so good.
But how do you get a news reader (slrn, tin) to read just those you have chosen to get news from? With "slrn -h localhost" I am confronted with the whole 25,500, and I don't know how to get tin to read the list at all. Also: if you change your mind about a group, how do you tell leafnode to stop accessing it? It seems to have a mind of its own.
