[leafnode-list] Re: Leafnode cannot find the host

[Cecil Westerhof <cldwesterhof@xxxxxxxxx>]

I did everything you said, but ltrace revealed the bug. So I do not
think the other information is interesting any-more.

You can use:
    server = news.kpn.nl

But when you use:
    server = news.kpn.nl # some comment

you got the error I mentioned. So I think leafnode should be amended
to handle comments correctly.
