I setup leafnode with the following /etc/leafnode.conf

        server = news.newsguy.com
        expire = 30
        username = some_user
        password = some_password
        # port = 8000
        maxfetch = 2000
        initialfetch = 1000
        # delaybody = 0
        # maxcrosspost = 5
        # maxage = 21
        #maxlines = 100
        supplement = news.massena.com

Unfortunately, I'm not seeming to get the groups I would expect.

So now I execute fetch...

        Sith:/usr/doc/leafnode/examples# fetch -fvv
        1.6.2: verbosity level is 2

        LIST ACTIVE done 0 seconds ago, getting all groups

Now I check out what we grabbed...

        Sith:/var/spool/news/leaf.node# ls -l
        total 1
        -rw-rw-r--   1 news     news          271 Sep 17 11:19 groupinfo

        -rw-rw-r--   1 news     news            0 Sep 17 11:19

        pilot.programmer.waba 0 0 0 -x-

It doesn't look like any of the newsguy.com goups were added at all.  Any
help
would be greatly appreciated, since I can't live without my 
alt.s^H^H^H^H^Hcomp.lang.c++.moderated. =)

It is possible that this is a quirk with newsguy that I have to resolve with
them,
but I didn't see anything in their FAQ.  Also, I have connected via my
windows box
to newsguy and got everything, so my user/password stuff is good.

TIA.
