Re: [leafnode-list] Server refuses connection

[Doug Laidlaw <laidlaws@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Jeff.  That is what I have, except that following the HTML FAQ, I have 
called it "leafnode", not "nntp".  I will see if that makes any difference.  
See my laer postings.  The only answer I have found to the present problem is 
to get a later xinetd.

Regards,

Doug.
