[gentoo-user] leafnode and xinetd.conf

[gentoo-user] leafnode and xinetd.conf

[THUFIR HAWAT]

I'd crosspost this from news.softwear.readers, but I don't have
leafnode configured yet ;)




Here is a sample /etc/xinetd/leafnode entry. The entry in the "server"
field has to point to your locally installed leafnode executable.
Dependent on the installation, this executable may not reside in
/usr/sbin but elsewhere (e.g. /usr/local/sbin if you installed
leafnode from the source code).

                service nntp
                {
                        disable = no
                        flags           = REUSE
                        socket_type     = stream
                        wait            = no
                        user            = news
                        server          = /usr/sbin/leafnode
                        log_on_failure  += USERID
                }

How do I know where leafnode is, please?  I can create a file

thufir@localhost ~ $
thufir@localhost ~ $ cat /etc/xinetd/leafnode
cat: /etc/xinetd/leafnode: No such file or directory
thufir@localhost ~ $ date
Sun Mar 26 21:21:07 IST 2006
thufir@localhost ~ $



such that it's appended /etc/xinetd.conf when xinetd runs?


thanks,

Thufir

Check out your /etc/xinetd.conf.

But /etc/xinetd.d/leafnode will be included, yes.

Was it epstein on "welcome back kotter"?  Ooooh, oooh, oooh!


Ok, thank you so much.  I thought it was odd that "emerge leafnode"
didn't automagically create this file, or something similar :)

Thing is, I'm multi-posting :(

Over in news.softwear.readers there's a thread, so I'm not sure how to
proceed with any followup questions.

After I have this done, I might be inclined adding to the gentoo wiki on this :)

Sure? Why disable=yes?

Well, go ahead - but I don't think that changing "disable = yes"
to "disable = no" is a good enough reason for adding something
to the Wiki. But that's just me.
