What is Leafnode?
News server for small sites
In depth
A closer look at Leafnode
Leafnode is a news server for small sites which is very easy to install and maintain. It was originally written by Arnt Gulbrandsen and available from www.troll.no . However, Arnt has recently indicated that he does not have time to continue working on the program.
Updating to this version is only important for people who suffer from a news server which does not honour the "LIST NEWSGROUPS news.groups.name" command. This concerns at least users of demon.co.uk and people who have nntpcache as their upstream servers. An option had been introduced in 1.7 to deal with this kind of problem, but embarrassingly, it didn't work as intended.
