Package: leafnode Version: 1.11.3.rel
Hello. Installing leafnode 1.11.2.rel (Sarge) modifies /etc/inetd.conf to run leafnode, but this no longer happens in 1.11.3.rel-2 (Etch) or 1.11.3.rel-4 (Sid). As a result, manual configuration is needed, contrary to the usual Debian practice of configuring a program when it's installed on the assumption that it will be used. Upgrading from the Sarge version correctly leaves /etc/inetd.conf untouched; only new installations on Etch or Sid are affected. This affects at least the i386 package, and makes it unnecessarily difficult for inexperienced users to use the package. I'm guessing that the fix for Bug #312447 may have caused this problem. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=312447 debian:/home/pjr# dpkg -l leafnode | grep leafnode ii leafnode 1.11.3.rel-4 NNTP server for small leaf sites debian:/home/pjr# grep leafnode /etc/inetd.conf nntp stream tcp nowait news /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/leafnode (This is the line that's no longer added automatically.) -- PJR :-) My email address is valid as it stands. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
