Good to see you fixed the problem. Just in case you want to upgrade to the latest version, I have attached a tar file of my ebuild for leafnode 2.0.0_alpha20090908 which I have been running for some time with no problems on an ~amd64 system. Just un-tar it under /usr/local/portage/net-nntp (or wherever you have your local portage tree). -- Reverend Paul Colquhoun, ULC. http://andor.dropbear.id.au/~paulcol Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. Then, when you do, you'll be a mile away, and you'll have their shoes.
