If the server doesn't respond with exactly one line in a few seconds, report this to the easynews support. Ok, I will tell easynet-support that I have had this problem.

Sorry - I had missed that. I checked the code again, and still see no reason why leafnode would do anything wrong here. I'll accelerate the way out though for the next release, a single timeout here should skip to the next server or quit immediately rather than hanging for 4 * timeout_fetchnews. Consider setting timeout_fetchnews to a lower value, say, 30 (seconds that is) for the nonce. How-ever, I have just tried again to post a message in a newsgroup and everything works fine now. So, it's ok for me to close this bug. Perhaps, if they are load balancing, one of their servers might be faulty. -- Matthias Andree -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Package: leafnode Version: 1.11.3.rel-2 Severity: normal 1. short version : -- On my PC, fetchnews 'hangs'[1] when there is an out-going message in /var/spool/news/out.going/. When I erase the file(s) in /var/spool/news/out.going/ fetchnews works without a problem. When I use slrn and connect directly to 'news.easynet.be' without using leafnode, I can post without a problem. 2. long version : - [1] It really doesn't hang, when I wait long enough (severall minutes) I get some time-out errors.
