| erco 17:21 Oct 20, 2005 | Looks like "leafnode" (an open source news puller) has a tool called 'fetchmail' that sends 'XHDR' (RFC 2980) which newsd doesn't currently support. The XHDR should be added to newsd for this reason. I have a copy of leafnode for testing, so I can check to see if it plays nice with newsd for downloading news. ---- NOTE: A quick way to download/install/test the 'leafnode' software; download 'leafnode' from sourceforge, do a ./configure; make install ..then do the following two commands to do a 'quickie' config and run to see the error: # echo "server = 3dsite.com" > /etc/leafnode/config # fetchnews warning: 3dsite.com does not process LIST NEWSGROUPS private.smallbiz correctly: use nodesc ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ..if I look in the newsd log file on my news server, I see: Wed Aug 24 00:28:51 2005 newsd[31940]: GOT: MODE READER Wed Aug 24 00:28:52 2005 newsd[31940]: GOT: NEWGROUPS 050823 161300 GMT Wed Aug 24 00:28:53 2005 newsd[31940]: GOT: GROUP rush.general Wed Aug 24 00:28:53 2005 newsd[31940]: GOT: XHDR Newsgroups 12-1011 <-- Wed Aug 24 00:28:54 2005 newsd[31940]: GOT: QUIT ..the XHDR command being the currently unsupported command in 1.44. 'leafenode' Workaround: Add the "nodesc=1" below the 'server' line in /etc/leafnode/config, eg: # echo "server = 3dsite.com" > /etc/leafnode/config # echo "nodesc=1" >> /etc/leafnode/config # fetchnews # |
