Package: leafnode Version: 1.11.3.rel-4 Severity: normal I was running leafnode on a system with sporadic ppp connections. After getting a permanent connection, I ran dpkg-reconfigure to tell it I had one. Things didn't work after that, and the log show lots of entries like
Sep 5 20:41:27 localhost leafnode[17504]: cannot open /etc/news/leafnode/config Sep 5 20:41:27 localhost leafnode[17504]: 503 Unable to read configuration file, exiting; the server's syslog should have more information. All the files in /etc/news/leafnode/ had user and group of root. It is possible this is an artifact of my editing the config file while logged in as root (using RCS to control it). However, all the files in the directory had root:root for owner:group. I did a manual chgrp to news for those same files, and things seemed to work after that. So I may have caused the problem, but I thought I'd report it in case not. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (990, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.27advncdfs Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages leafnode depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.57 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpcre3 5.0-1.1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii logrotate 3.7.1-1 Log rotation utility ii netbase 4.21 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii tcpd 7.6.dbs-8 Wietse Venema's TCP wrapper utilit leafnode recommends no packages. -- debconf information: * leafnode/update-groups: false leafnode/update-groupinfo: * leafnode/tcpd: true leafnode/update-maxcount: leafnode/ppp: * leafnode/network: permanent leafnode/expireinfo: leafnode/purge: false * leafnode/server: nntp2.rawbw.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
