The 2.0 beta versions (available at http://www.leafnode.org/download.html) do support local newsgroups, at least according to the FAQ (http://www.leafnode.org/faq.html#6). I've not tried the 2.0 beta with local newsgroups, though, so I can't say how well it works. I'm using the 2.0 beta to locally cache newsgroups from my ISP's news server (its retention interval is VERY poor). > A more clever question: > -is it possible to run Leafnode(towards remote newsgroups) and > INN(towards local newsgroups) simultaneously on the same news server?

I don't know about getting fetchnews (the part of leafnode that fetches news articles) to feed into an INN news database. For that matter, posting would be a problem, too. You'd probably do better to try the Leafnode 2.0 beta. -- Rod Smith, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.rodsbooks.com Author of books on Linux & multi-OS configuration
