I've had leafnode running under Debian without too much issue. The main issue
for me, was setting it up (in the way I was used to in other distros). I don't
like the way Debian sets up leafnode at first. It assumes everyone has a di

a text based newsreader. To enable offline newsreading
slrnpull.deb might be helpful.
To my understanding all desired newsgroups that have to
be replicated have to be defined in
/var/spool/slrnpull/slrnpull.conf
but nothing seems to help me to define

Dear all,
is it possible to fetch news with slrnpull and read it with
Gnus/XEmacs?
I have the following in my .xemacs/init.el:
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnspool "/var/spool/slrnpull/"))
but when starting Gnus, it complains about:
The active file doesn't exist:
I find I have to put a link in my home directory to
/etc/news/slrnpull.conf, otherwise slrnpull doesn't find it.
Is this because there is something misconfigured in my setup or is it a
bug?

For me slrnpull was not posting before fetching. Previously I had
initially leafnode also. Though i have disabled leafnode in
/etc/inetd.conf, I had a lingering doubt about leafnode. hence i
reinstalled my linux box. It fetches the article. But while posting it
gives the error as follows.

There is a slrnpull script in my /etc/ppp/ip-up.d directory, but it
does not work. I have to do a "sudo slrnpull" every time I want to
download news while online.
It seems that the other ip-up scripts are working.

I configured slrnpull to run only on demand, but cron.daily keeps trying
to run it every morning. As I am only connected to my ISP intermittently
this is wrong.
How do I change this (apart from deleting the entry in cron.daily, which
doesn't seem to be right)?

Hi,
I have a problem with slrnpull or to be more precise with its connection
to ISP. I read file /slrn/slrnpull/QUICK_INSTALL and did all as it is
written there. So I run my /etc/ppp/ppp-on script to connect to ISP
(everything goes well as usualy) and when it's done I run slrnpull.

For some reason, when I try to run slrn --spool, I get this error message:

For this reason, I guess, nothing shows up in the spooled slrn window. What

First off, I have read the README.Debian file in /usr/doc/slrnpull/, but I

I already tried that with the following configuration:

Hi,
I installed slrn and slrnpull. For a short while I tried "plain" slrn,
but what I really need is to be able to download the news to read,
reply, compose, etc. off line.
So, I set up the slrnpull.conf like follows:
- /etc/news/slrnpull.conf -
default 0 0
grou
I can only use slrnpull as root. Is it safe?

Can anybody point me to some info on how to get trn to read from the news
