I did the stuff with killall.... Then echo will return localhost as the
NNTPSERVER. And I added the line to hosts.allow....and rebooted...
But there's still no go... It's crazy... Netscape will complain that an error
occured with the newsserver and that it cannot connect....
GNUS will give something similar...when I'm root it just tries to connect...and
fails....as a user I get a message that it cannot open a connection to
localhost. It tells me that it couldn't open server on localhost.
Any idea why...? I installed the leafnode.rpm without any problems...so why
this?
Thanx in advance
Jacek
