Bonjour Yvon,

Well. I don't know a standard command to query this, but perhaps you can
run:   perl -e 'print join(":", getgrnam("news")),"\n";'
and show me the output.

> nord-2-81-57-96-20:~> id news

It is striking that the group name is printed only numerically, "id -gn"
should have printed a string.

This means that the NetInfo data base (probably -- I don't have MacOS X
to test and the SourceForge MacOS X hosts are both down) probably lacks
a proper item in the NetInfo "groups" directory or path or however MacOS
X's NetInfo calls this.

Try:

echo 'news:*:71:news' | niload group .

And see if this fixes "id -gn news" and ls. If this does not help,
please show me the output of "nidump group ."

You must use a super server such as inetd or xinetd to start leafnode.

Using xinetd is highly recommended to avoid denial of service attacks on
your computer, but inetd is fine if you are the only one who has access
to your leafnode.

telnet localhost 119

should usually work. (Type QUIT and press the [ENTER] key to get out.)
