Leafnode 2 is an NNTP proxy server intended for small sites, where
|
||
|
|
there are few users and little disk space, but where a large number of
|
||
|
|
groups is desired. It can also be used to give a regular newsreader
|
||
|
|
off-line functionality.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is some work to do to install this program effectively, all
|
||
|
|
of which is clearly set out in the README file contained in the
|
||
|
|
documents. It is strongly advised that you read this file thoroughly
|
||
|
|
before installing Leafnode 2. In summary you will need to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Ensure $NNTPSERVER or /etc/nntpserver points to 'localhost'.
|
||
|
|
2. Set /etc/inetd.conf so leafnode is executed for incoming NNTP connections.
|
||
|
|
3. Set /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow to protect the server.
|
||
|
|
4. Create /etc/leafnode/config and adjust settings as required.
|
||
|
|
5. Set cronjobs for fetchnews and texpire.
|
||
|
|
6. Fetch the newsgroup list from the upstream server.
|
||
|
|
7. Set your newsreader to use 'localhost'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Future versions of Leafnode 2 will have access to the lua programming /
|
||
|
|
scripting language so we will be sitting tight with this particular version
|
||
|
|
of Leafnode 2 until the lua-enabled version has matured a little.
