Thanks for putting this right.

Well, I really think, leafnode is the best thing for home use. We could
talk about hamster, if it'd run on linux, but so far I do not know
hamster in long time use. So leafnode is my choice.
Good work, Matthias! (And thank you for all your work!)

Ok. To know this, I should have read the manpage. So it is much easier
for me to touch ... ;-)

Articles are stored as news:news. So normal users can't modify them.
Is it possible to restrict access for different users to different
groups? If not ... no problem. *My* leafnode is only for *my* personal
use. So
only_from = 127.0.0.1 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2
in xinetd.d/leafnode-nntp should be sufficient. Otherwise
# iptables -A INPUT -i ppp2 --destination-port nntp -j REJECT
could help... Or am I missing something? ;-)
Have a nice day ...
Martin
