There aren't any uncommented lines in either file.

FYI, the man pages [hosts_access(5)] are part of the tcp_wrappers-7.6-20mdk.rpm package.

I have configured xinted for leafnode as described below and it still doesn't start. I
can't even find any indication in the logs that it is even trying to start.
leafnode does start from the command prompt.
Does anyone know what else may need to be set?
Thanks in advance.

Hallo all,
just installed LM 8.2 and wanted to use leafnode. xinetd is running and
leafnode installed all right. But of course I cannot connect to

inetd before. It seems that xinetd is preventing leafnode from running.
Can anyone help me PLZ? Anyone running leafnode on LM 8.2?
Usually being unable to connect to leafnode with one's nntp client means
that xinetd hasn't been setup to allow it.
Do you have an entry in xinetd.d for leafnode?
It should look like the following:
service nntp
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait= no
user= news
server =/usr/sbin/leafnode
log_on_failure +=USERID
}

On 26 Mar 2002 00:43:42 +0100 Andreas Müller [EMAIL PROTECTED] studiouisly spake these words to ponder: Hallo all, just installed LM 8.2 and wanted to use leafnode. xinetd is running and leafnode installed all right. But of course I cannot connect to leafnode. I do not have any idea about xinetd, because I always used inetd before. It seems that xinetd is preventing leafnode from running. Can anyone help me PLZ? Anyone running leafnode on LM 8.2? TIA Andreas, The following is assuming that you've already configured leafnode to run through editing the /etc/leafnode/config file. Mine is attached if indeed you haven't and you're wondering what it should look like. If xinetd is running and leafnode is enabled then all is as it should be. The next thing you want to check it to make sure that if you're running a firewall, that port 119 is open and allowing traffic through. Next, open the /etc/services file to check and make sure that the nntp line is not commented out. That is the line that controls whether or not the nntp service is allowed to run. After all that you will want to make sure that this file exists. /var/spool/news/leaf.node/groupinfo It should be owned by news.news and be chmod'd 664. Next, in a terminal as root issue this command to get the whole thing going started: fetchnews -vv The two vv as the argument for fetchnews will supply you with verbose level 2 reporting of what fetchnews is doing. The first it will do is fetch the group listing from your upstream news server. Most likely source is your ISP's newsserver which is what I use. And one other. The rest is pretty much a no brainer. -- daRcmaTTeR - If at first you don't succeed do what your wife told you to do the first time!

Hallo,
well I have all this files set. I am able to use fetchnews, too.
I've found an entry in the logs like this:
Mar 26 22:38:37 localhost xinetd[3979]: libwrap refused connection to
nntp from localhost.localdomain
It seems that this is the problem. Can someone help?
TIA
