Package: leafnode Version: 1.9.15-3 Severity: normal I have just installed leafnode and run fetchnews for the first time. Although it took me far less then 60 min to download it groupinfo looks O.K, isn't it? [19:59:27 shaul]$ head /var/spool/news/leaf.node/groupinfo 1.aardvark 1 1 0 -x- 12hr 1 1 0 -x- 3b 1 1 0 -x- 3b.config 1 1 0 -x- 3b.misc 1 1 0 -x- 3b.tech 1 1 0 -x- 3b.test 1 1 0 -x- 3do.bad-attitude 1 1 0 -x- 43 1 1 0 -x- 5col.announce 1 1 0 -x- [19:59:35 shaul]$ wc /var/spool/news/leaf.node/groupinfo 41017 205085 1238082 /var/spool/news/leaf.node/groupinfo [19:59:43 shaul]$
Yet tin tells me there are no groups available. nn quits immedaiately, and I interprating that to the same effect (or am I wrong)? The only thing that seems to me odd is that contrary to leafnode man page /var/spool/news/ does not contain any groups dirs.
