Sadly, the Ubuntu installer point-blank *insisted* I nuke /var before letting me reinstall. :-( Oh well, at least (recent) news is easily recoverable.. > It runs from inetd when you connect to the nntp port, and it's > updated from cron, running "fetchnews" and "texpire". I see.. I didn't realise that leafnode required inetd. I'd have thought that it would automatically have installed it as a dependency if so..? Does it matter whether it's inetd or xinetd? Ubuntu seems to prefer xinetd as it's in main, whereas inetd (inetutils-inetd) is only in universe..
