One can put the FQDN in /etc/hosts, like so: Locate the line that
contains  the current short host name, then add the fully qualified
name at the end.

127.0.0.1 localhost shortname fully.qualified.name

The above is an example only.  The IP address is likely different.

Here is what I have understood about Leafnode+'s posting features from the
documentation. I haven't experimented yet, but it looks like Jesper's
article in this thread suggests I'm wrong, which is good.

Here is my setup. I have both read and post access to 2 NNTP servers from
my ISP, nntp1.isp.com and nntp2.isp.com. nntp1 provides the usual worldwide
group hierarchies such as alt.*, comp.*, sci.*, etc. nntp2 only provides
hierarchies local to my ISP, e.g. myisp.*, and completely separate from
those of nntp1.

I seem to understand that with Leafnode+, I have read access to both nntp1
and nntp2, but post access to only one of the NNTP servers.
