OK, just to confirm that is doesn't work -- tried second time
now, and when changed servers.xml to this (I have a local
leafnode):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<server-properties>
<server id="1">
<host>localhost</host>
<port>119</port>
<username></username>
<password></password>
<expire-articles-n-days-old>31</expire-articles-n-days-old>
<connection-limit>1</connection-limit>
<newsrc>/home/matej/.newsrc</newsrc>
<rank>1</rank>
</server>
</server-properties>
On the first run when running pan (pan-0.129-1.fc6) it had
correctly subscribed the same newsgroups as slrn, but with some
read articles. However, after sthudown of pan, the .newsrc is
busted -- neither slrn nor pan (after recovery of the old .newsrc
from backup and trying again) see any NG subscribed.
I tried running it with strace and the result was strange -- when
running grep newsrc on both first and the second run of pan, I
got a slight difference:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ grep newsrc pan.strace
14579 access("/home/matej/.newsrc", F_OK) = 0
14579 open("/home/matej/.newsrc", O_RDONLY) = 6
14579 open("/home/matej/.newsrc.tmp", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC,\
0666) = 6
14579 unlink("/home/matej/.newsrc") = 0
14579 rename("/home/matej/.newsrc.tmp", "/home/matej/.newsrc") \
= 0
14579 chmod("/home/matej/.newsrc", 0600) = 0
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ grep newsrc pan.strace2
14586 access("/home/matej/.newsrc", F_OK) = 0
14586 open("/home/matej/.newsrc", O_RDONLY) = 6
14586 open("/home/matej/.newsrc.tmp", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC,\
0666) = 7
14586 unlink("/home/matej/.newsrc") = 0
14586 rename("/home/matej/.newsrc.tmp", "/home/matej/.newsrc") \
= 0
14586 chmod("/home/matej/.newsrc", 0600) = 0
14586 open("/home/matej/.newsrc.tmp", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC,\
0666) = 6
14586 unlink("/home/matej/.newsrc") = 0
14586 rename("/home/matej/.newsrc.tmp", "/home/matej/.newsrc") \
= 0
14586 chmod("/home/matej/.newsrc", 0600) = 0
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$
No idea, what's the difference between 6 and 7 as a return value
of open("/home/matej/.newsrc.tmp", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC,0666)
system call.

No, I never tried that.

I have only one leafnode here.

No idea, I haven't tried that (and my ~/.news/Score is empty
anyway).
Any idea what's going on, please?
