Hi,
I have just installed leafnode 1.9.4 from source on a slackware 7.0 box. All went fine, but whenever I use slrn to read news slrn seems to believe that all newsgroups are new newsgroups. Hence all subscriptions are lost and a screen full of new newgroups is presented.
Any ideas why? Presumably leafnode after an amount of time will no longer consider certain newsgroups to be new?
Thanks

I suspect leafnode may suffer from the same bug as sn, as both are "small-site" newsservers. While the latest version of sn cures the problem, you can work around it by putting "set read_active 0" in your .slrnrc file.
Hope that helps,
MJR

Alternatively it could be the same problem I had on Jan 1: Y2K. Yep, I upgraded my client (tin) and all was fine once more.
My one and only claim to Y2K fame that :)

No, slrn as in Deb 2.1r3 (r4 is current) has no y2k problem, so I doubt it's that. How have others found the y2k transition? Ready for more fun on Feb 29th?

Well, a few websites I use showed "100" or "19100"...
