[leafnode-list] What the hell is that?

I downloaded new release 1.9.24 today, compiled and installed.

When i tried to connect, reply was

Jul 11 21:45:47 localhost leafnode[261]:  Leafnode must have a 
fully-qualified and globally unique domain name, not just 
"localhost.streghe.cc". Edit your /etc/hosts file to add a unique, fully 
qualified domain name. "localhost.localdomain" or thereabouts will not 
work; it's qualified, but not unique. Jul 11 21:45:47 localhost /kernel: 
pid 261 (leafnode), uid 0: exited on signal 6 (core dumped)

I tried to configure something like ghost.streghe.cc in the configure file,
and i put ghost.streghe.cc in the /etc/hosts file, and i changed hostname,
and when i tried to connect to myself to read news it replied me that i 
cannot connect
from out of local network, "please read README", because connection 
results coming from
localhost and hostname is ghost, so networks are different. Wow.

Since i cannot use an existing public  domain  , because i use a dialup 
connection
to connect to the internet, and i cannot spoof anything becaus ei have a 
local smtp server too,
simply it seems leafnode is useful only if someone use it in a local 
network,
but not in a single machine out of the network: if i change name to the 
machine,
it replies that localhost cannot connect because is out of local net, and
if i use localhost it replies localhost is not a real name.

So, leafnode is not yet useful for me, and even i try to understand 
reasons of
that useless code (tcpwrappers can do the same function better) , i am not
able to percept them.

Simply, it seems to me you want to put limitations and limitations and 
limitations
to that program only for the libido to limit your program: sure, now a 
single machine
connecting via dialup cannot use leafnode as a cache.

Please, unsubscribe me.
