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. genma is my general-purpose server. To fetchnews (which runs only on genma), the news server is news.usinternet.com, my ISP's news server. This is defined in /etc/news/leafnode/server. To slrn (and any other news clients I may run), the news server is genma. This is the server defined by /etc/news/server. In your case, with only a single machine involved, putting localhost into /etc/news/server should work, though I prefer to use the box's own name instead. -- Geek Code 3.1: GCS d- s+: a- C++ UL++$ P+>+++ L++>++++ E- W--(++) N+ o+ !K w---$ O M- !V PS+ PE Y+ PGP t 5++ X+ R++ tv- b++ DI++++ D G e* h+ r++ y+
