Done :-)

Installed, did tiny adjustments to config, run "texpire -r" as user "news". I see that the messages store is at /var/spool/news

I noticed that under /etc/xinet.d/ there is no new leafnode file, so I am under the assumption that it is not needed, as I see leafnode.socket with systemd. I disable the previous /etc/xinet.d/leafnode file.

minas-tirith:~ # systemctl status leafnode.socket
● leafnode.socket - NNTP server for small sites (socket)
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/leafnode.socket; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
   Listen: [::]:119 (Stream)

minas-tirith:~ # systemctl enable leafnode.socket
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/leafnode.socket to /usr/lib/systemd/system/leafnode.socket.

However, thunderbird gets a connection refused when attempting to read the news, so something is wrong.

IPv6 only, perhaps? Because of this:

   Listen: [::]:119 (Stream)

Thunderbird config I have not changed, it tries to access 127.0.0.1 (localhost) at 119.



cer@minas-tirith:~> telnet localhost 119
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
cer@minas-tirith:~> 



This does run:


cer@minas-tirith:~> sudo -u news /usr/sbin/fetchnews -v 
...
<211 466 503513 503978 comp.os.linux.networking

sort took 23673 comparisons, called from activutil.c:309
fetchnews: 139 articles and 0 headers fetched, 0 killed, 2 posted, in 12 seconds



Is then xinet.d needed?
