Configuring leafnode
Config files
/etc/leafnode/config,
/etc/inetd.conf, /etc/xinetd.conf
leafnode may be configured to use inetd or xinetd as follows:
inetd configuration
Add a leafnode entry to the /etc/inetd.conf
file with the following command:
echo "nntp stream tcp nowait news /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/leafnode" \
>> /etc/inetd.conf &&
xinetd configuration
Add a leafnode entry to the /etc/xinetd.conf
file with the following command:
cat >> /etc/xinetd.conf << "EOF"
service nntp
{
flags = NAMEINARGS NOLIBWRAP
socket_type = stream

server_args = /usr/sbin/leafnode
instances = 7
per_source = 3
}

The /etc/news/config file must be
edited to reflect the name of the upstream NNTP provider. Copy the
example configuration file to /etc/news/config
and save the original for reference :
cp /etc/news/config.example /etc/news/config
Change the
server =
entry to reflect your news provider.
The NNTPSERVER environment variable must be set to 127.0.0.1 to
prevent news clients from reading news from the upstream feed, add the
following to /etc/profile or
$HOME/.bash_profile :
export NNTPSERVER=127.0.0.1
