Template: leafnode/server
Type: string
Default: news
_Description: Server to download news from:
The name of the news server should be provided by the organization
providing you with network access, such as your Internet Service
Provider.
.
This server is generally called "news.<domain>" or "nntp.<domain>"
where <domain> is the local 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 the news server which opens opportunities
for spamming or resource abuse.
.
Access controls will prevent computers other than the news server
itself reading or posting to newsgroups using the server. If required
access can be granted to other computers by editing /etc/hosts.allow.
Template: leafnode/network
Type: select
#flag:translate!:1
__Choices: PPP, permanent, none
Default: PPP
_Description: Network connection type:
The Leafnode package can automatically download news.
.
The method used for this depends on the network connection type.
Scripts provided with the package support two network connection types:
- permanent: hourly news downloads;
- PPP : news downloads triggered by dialouts.
.
Either option will work for a dial-on-demand network connection.
.
Choosing 'none' will disable automatic news downloads. News
can be downloaded manually by running 'fetchnews'.
Template: leafnode/update-groups
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Update the list of available groups?
Leafnode updates the list of available newsgroups when
it checks for new news. No newsgroups will be available until this has
happened at least once.
.
If you choose to update the list of groups immediately,
newsgroups will be available to clients as soon as Leafnode has been
set up.
Template: leafnode/purge
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Remove news groups and articles when purging the package?
The /var/spool/news directory holds the database of news articles
downloaded by Leafnode. Many other news servers also use this
directory to store their news database and you may wish to keep it
even when removing the leafnode package.

Description: NNTP server for small sites
Leafnode is a news server suitable for small, limited-bandwidth sites
with only a few users ('leaf' sites). It keeps track of which groups are being
read, and downloads only articles in those groups. Leafnode has been
designed to require no maintenance and to be easy to set up.
.
Perl and the libnet-perl package are required to use some optional
features of the package for handling very low volume newsgroups.
