I was indeed used using gnus as NR...Now after the installation of leafnode I just would like to use this excellent NR again. As you said, once you get used to it...it's unlikely to become satis- fied with an ordinary NR... I made a fes tests with Netscape....this is now working without problems. With "localhost". Ther servers (I have two), are in my /etc/news/leafnode/config. Now is it possible, that gnus will need several minutes lets say up to a 1/2 hour in order to read ther active file...in which is empty ? /var/spool/news/active.read has nothing inside. Is this normal ? Regards --- / / (_)____ __ ____ __ Pieter Wenk / /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / Vevey/Switzerland /____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
