http://www.edlug.org.uk/ will probably give you all the exciting details. Of course, you could just ask [EMAIL PROTECTED] He's really quite friendly, if he's in a good mood. :-) > > Having never used leafnode, I don't know if it's a configuration > > problem, but can you get a trace of the NNTP conversation? > > Call me thick, but how do I do that? In leafnode, no idea.

You get to curse lots, trying to figure out what on earth the eejit that was writing stuff in the first place was doing. Then you get to do a little coding. Then you get the satisfaction of seeing the bug fixed and the program working just the way you want it. Oh, and the aggravation of trying to be nice to the upstream maintainer while politely explaining that he's a raving moron. -- Right now, there are scr1pt k1dd13s plotting to DDoS my network, my co-lo server is not responding to pings and the people that I IRC with may be involved in both. I'm sysadmin Graeme Mathieson and this is the longest day of my life. http://www.wossname.org.uk/~mathie/ _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
