[leafnode-list] Problems with reading from newsgroups (501 no such list available)
Hi guys,
I've been using leafnode for over a year without a hitch, and
recently, I started getting this error which I can't for the life of
me resolve.
What happens is that when I run fetchnews either as the "news" user or
as root, I get the same output.
Here is what I see when running fetchnews -vvv
leafnode 1.9.29.rel: verbosity level is 3
Trying to connect to newsgroups.comcast.net:nntp ... connected.
newsgroups.comcast.net: 0 articles posted
Getting all newsgroups from newsgroups.comcast.net
Reading newsgroups descriptions failed: 501 no such list available.
Reading server info from /var/spool/news/leaf.node/newsgroups.comcast.net
Disconnected from newsgroups.comcast.net.
I don't understand why the "501 no such list available" error is
occuring, I have never seen it before until now.
I tried adding a line to /etc/leafnode/config
nodesc=1
For this server, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I even
erased all the files in /var/spool/news hoping that it would just
start from scratch and recreate everything, but I get the same problem.
Has anyone experienced this who could help me?
Here are my system details:
leafnode 1.9.29 as you can see above
running on Mandrake 8.0
i386 system, nothing special or fancy about it.
Thanks,
G
