Template: leafnode/server
Type: string
_Default: news
_Description: Which news server should Leafnode download news from?
Whoever is providing you with internet access should have told you what
it's called. Typically it's something like "news.domain" or "nntp.domain"
where domain is their domain name.
Template: leafnode/tcpd
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Enable access controls for Leafnode?
If you do not enable some access controls for leafnode, people everywhere
will be able to use your news server, for things like posting spam or
accessing huge binary newsgroups. People actively scan the net for open
news servers.
.
If you do enable access controls, this will prevent any computers except
localhost from accessing your news server. You can modify /etc/hosts.allow
later to broaden the access controls, if necessary.
Template: leafnode/network
Type: select
_Choices: PPP, permanent, none
Default: PPP
_Description: What type of network connection do you have?
The Leafnode package can automatically download new news for you. When
this should be done depends on your network connection. The scripts
provided with the package support two kinds of network connection: a
permanent one and one provided by PPP. When set up for PPP the package
will download news every time a PPP connection is established. With a
permanent connection news will be downloaded every hour. Either option
will work if you are using diald to manage a PPP connection.
.
You can also select "none", which will disable automatic downloads. News
can be downloaded manually by running fetchnews.
Template: leafnode/update-groups
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Do you wish to update the list of available groups?
Leafnode keeps the list of available newsgroups up to date when
it checks for new news. Until it has done so it will not offer any
newsgroups to clients.
.
If you choose to update the list of groups during package set up then
newsgroups will be available to clients as soon as Leafnode has been
set up.
Template: leafnode/ppp
Type: note
_Description: Leafnode now supports PPP connections
The default cron.daily script supplied with leafnode now supports PPP
connections, and /etc/ppp/ip-{up,down}.d scripts are provided. If you
have modified your system to work with a PPP connection you should
consider installing the new versions of the cron.daily and /etc/ppp
scripts. Doing so will allow the package configuration to work and make
it easier to upgrade.
Template: leafnode/purge
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Should I remove /var/spool/news and all its contents?
/var/spool/news holds the database of news articles downloaded by
Leafnode. Many other news servers also use this directory to store their
news database - if you have replaced Leafnode with another server it is
very likely that you do not want to do this.
