Re: [leafnode-list] Warning: premature EOF in client input.

["Jim Gifford" <maillist@xxxxxxxxx>]

I now what causes the EOF in client. It is because I have to forceably stop
outlook express. The actual problem is kinda of wierd.

As suggested I turned on debugging support. Here is the process I am using
to get this error.

Go into Outlook Express and ask it to reset the newgroup list.
While getting the news group list, outlook express locks up.
Upon freezing for numerous minutes (1 hour this last time) leafnode gives me
the premature EOF in client input. (This happens everytime I forceably stop
outlook express)

Debug Mode shows the following
< MODE READER
< AUTHINFO USER (username)
< AUTHINFO PASS (password)
< LIST
<
and it stops there until a forceably stop and then it gives me the
Warning: premature EOF in client input.

Here is my config for LEAFNODE
