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. The leafnode program itself is the server while
the programs fetchnews and texpire transport the news and expire old
articles respectively.

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 source.
It is strongly advised for you to read it thoroughly before installing
leafnode. Below is a quick sketch of the requirements for Leafnode setup:
It is strongly advised that you read this file thoroughly before
installing Leafnode 2. In summary you need to:
After the installation, you need to:
1. Ensure $NNTPSERVER or /etc/nntpserver point to localhost.
1. Ensure $NNTPSERVER or /etc/nntpserver points to 'localhost'.
2. Set /etc/inetd.conf so leafnode is executed for incoming NNTP connections.
nntp stream tcp nowait news /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/leafnode
3. Set /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow to protect the server. See the
README
/etc/hosts.deny: leafnode: ALL
/etc/hosts.allow: leafnode: 127.0.0.1
4. Create /etc/leafnode/config and adjust settings as required. A sample
file - /etc/leafnode/config.example - is already there.
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 your server.
/usr/sbin/fetchnews -vv
/usr/sbin/texpire -vv
** texpire will make sure the leafnode news spool is in working order.
7. Set your newsreader to use the localhost leafnode.
6. Fetch the newsgroup list from the upstream server.
7. Set your newsreader to use 'localhost'.
All of this is carefully written up in the README file of the source code and I
stress again the importance of reading that file thorougly. You may also want
to read the following guides:
The below guide is specifically aimed at slackware users and details concise
and quickl instructions on how to get a good leafnode install up and working:
