I'm having trouble with Leafnode - moving back from Emacs/Gnus to Vim/Mutt/Slrn, I wiped out the /var/spool/news folder. Long story! I've replaced the folder (as user news) and leafnode has donme it's magic and set up subfolder for the groups I want to read. But the articles aren't coming in.
/var/log/news says things like Feb 17 19:02:26 glynthebearded fetchnews[9750]: unable to create article /var/spool/news/message.id/658/<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: No such file or directory Feb 17 19:02:26 glynthebearded fetchnews[9750]: Cannot create directory /var/spool/news/message.id/077: No such file or directory Feb 17 19:02:26 glynthebearded fetchnews[9750]: unable to create article /var/spool/news/message.id/077/<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: No such file or directory Feb 17 19:02:26 glynthebearded fetchnews[9750]: Cannot create directory /var/spool/news/message.id/092: No such file or directory Feb 17 19:02:26 glynthebearded fetchnews[9750]: unable to create article /var/spool/news/message.id/092/<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: No such file or directory Except that the directory message.id DOES exist! Any suggestions?
