I never tried to connect manually. The server responded to a ping and Netscape was able to reach the news server directly... so I didn't think of it.
It doesn't seem that it even TRIES to make a connection... it instantly reports "failed to connect to server" or something to that effect. Then when I cat the /var/log/messages it says that it couldn't create a lockfile. What lockfile is it talking about and where would it put it?? Maybe there is a directory missing or something?
I think I'm going to download the source to the newest leafnode release and compile it tonight... my last compile attempt failed with a sed syntax error so I found the 1.9.2 rpm package.
