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?

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 [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver@stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

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 :) -- James Green jg@cyberstorm.demon.co.uk Site Manager jg@linuxnewbie.com LinuxNewbie.com LNC http://www.cyberstorm.demon.co.uk/ [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver@stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

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"...
