If you still have the build directory around, just read the config.c
file (type "more config.c"), if you don't have it around, try:

strings `which leafnode-version`


The defaults are (from a stock config.c):

const char *spooldir = "/var/spool/news" ;
const char *sysconfdir = "/etc/leafnode" ;
const char *lockfile = "/var/spool/news/leaf.node/lock.file" ;

With installation into /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin.


There should be no need to manually remove the lock file. If leafnode
appears to get "stuck", please attach a debugger, obtain a stack
backtrace and post it here or send it to me. See the FAQ for detailed
instructions, they're shipping with the leafnode source in various
formats.

Note: if the debugger prints mostly lines with "??" on it, the backtrace
is not useful -- often because "make install-strip" was used. Re-install
with "make install" (omitting the -strip). See the FAQ for details (it
ships in various formats).

There was no problem with leafnode or the lock file, I was used to
seeing it in /var/lock/news/. After I installed 1.9.43 I was checking
things out and that's when I seen the difference in file locations.

Thanks for help.
