I've just installed leafnode package (version 1.11.3.rel2) on a
testing/unstable machine and I'm having trouble using it.  It
works so far as getting the active list from the server, but when
I try to access the local server by setting NNTPSERVER=127.0.0.1
and running slrn, I get the following errors:

> export NNTPSERVER=127.0.0.1
> slrn 
slrn 0.9.8.1pl1 [2005-02-17]

Reading startup file /etc/news/slrn.rc.
Using newsrc file /home/miller/.jnewsrc for server 127.0.0.1.slrn fatal error:

Unable to open /home/miller/.jnewsrc.
If you want to create /home/miller/.jnewsrc, add command line options:
   -f /home/miller/.jnewsrc --create

> slrn -f /home/miller/.jnewsrc --create
slrn 0.9.8.1pl1 [2005-02-17]

Reading startup file /etc/news/slrn.rc.
Using newsrc file /home/miller/.jnewsrc for server 127.0.0.1.
Connecting to host 127.0.0.1 ...Unable to make connection. Giving up.
slrn fatal error:
Failed to initialize server.




I haven't been able to sort out why this is not working.  Can
anyone give me a pointer on using leafnode once it is installed?

Regards, Mike
