RE: [leafnode-list] Need Leafnode 2.0?



2 cents may not be applicable but:

When messing with the xinetd daemon and leafnode in the past, I have found
that for news to work, I would have to actually stop then start the service
or kill the daemon and then start it for some versions of xinetd on RedHat
machines.  The special kills or service restarts would not do as documented.
If you have xinetd -d, it is very easy to tell if/when xinetd restarts since
log messages show what services are started/disabled.  This was how I found
that it wasn't obeying the documented behavior for SIGHUP.

Granted, this is not supposed to be the normal case, but, I have seen it
happen.
