ntly, the problem is that inetd has leafnode listening on IPv6,
but not on IPv4. I think I need to either get slrn to work with IPv6,

After trying and failing to use INN, I removed it using dpkg and installed
leafnode. I had to use fetch -f but after that it seemed to work fine when I
manually kicked it. But when I added it to my cron.daily job ( su news -c
"/usr/sbin/fetch" ) I get: shell-init: could not get current

I'm currently using fetchnews and slrn and frequently have the NNTP
connection timeout while composing longer articles, with the result that slrn
decides it can post the article and I have to reload it from
slrn-failed-posting.txt. While that works, it's a royal PITA...
Looking through the config

I'm using leafnode and tin for locally-stored news reading.
I can read groups and articles but I post. On submitting an item,
on the first instance I get a message that there was an error posting
the message. If I then resubmit, tin lists on the status line "Posting
article..."

Thanks. That's what I ended up doing. I'll try to set it up with my
machine name a little late

The name of the machine on which leafnode runs.
For example, I have slrn and leafnode set up on two machines here, pchan and
genma.

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
Hi all,
I'm trying to set up slrn to use leafnode. Leafnode appears to be
installed okay and I have a list of newsgroup descriptions and all
other things that leafnode/fetchnews seems to set up. However, I
can't get slrn to behave. I keep getting this error:
Reading startup file
