Re: [leafnode-list] Leafnode and Pan

[Doug Laidlaw <laidlaws@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My version of Pan is 0.11.2.90 - the latest available as a Mandrake RPM.

I got more drastic,deleted the entire news spool and started again with 
Knode.  The log entries when I try to read an article a second time after 
opening Knode again are:

In news.notice:

Mar 26 09:09:02 dougshost leafnode[3054]: >205 Always happy to serve!
Mar 26 09:11:36 dougshost leafnode[3063]: config: debugmode is 1
Mar 26 09:11:36 dougshost leafnode[3063]: config: initialfetch is 200
Mar 26 09:11:36 dougshost leafnode[3063]: config: delaybody is 1 (default 0)

/var/spool/news/leaf.node/groupinfo

to meet you!

last 119 artno 52

Mar 26 09:11:49 dougshost leafnode[3063]: >205 Always happy to serve!
[root@dougshost news]#

There is also a logfile news.err, but it contains nothing - only the entries 
when I tried fetchnews without creating /message.id first.
