My ISP's news server (news.cableone.net) does not allow posting. I wanted to set up my own news server so that I could both get nntp/news data and post to newsgroups. I found a howto at www.tldp.org and have been following it. The howto said to open leafnode/config (I copied mine frim /etc/leafnode/config.example to /etc/leafnode/config) and set the server variable to be equal to my ISP's news server. Herein lies my problem. The comment in the file above the server variable assignment is:
## This is the NNTP server leafnode fetches its news from. ## You need read and post access to it. Mandatory. I don't have post access to news.cableone.net - That's why I'm doing this. Is there a way around this, or can anyone make suggestions for setting up a news server that can both read and post to Usenet groups? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
