slrn unable to connect to leafnode

Reported by: martinsm@… Owned by:
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.7.0
Keywords: failure to connect Cc: olaf@…
Port: leafnode

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

slrn and leafnode both installed on 10.5.6
slrn fails to connect to leafnode with the following error:

Reading startup file /Users/martinsmith/.slrnrc.
Using newsrc file /Users/martinsmith/.jnewsrc-localhost for server localhost.
Connecting to host localhost ...
Failed to initialize server
Reason: 502 Remote access denied.
slrn fatal error:
Failed to initialize server.

Problem is that they are both on the same machine, yet I can connect to leafnode on the mac from slrn on a bsd box on the same local network with no errors. I can also connect slrn on the mac to leafnode on the bsd box. I am guessing this is a leafnode problem, but I may be wrong. Any thoughts?

What's the result of

$ telnet localhost 119

What's in the log messages of leafnode? I'm not familiar with leafnode. Maybe it doesn't listen on localhost.

Yes I have checked and rechecked the config file, and I am not attempting to access it from outside the local network, but it does not seem to recognise that... strange, because thunderbird can connect to leafnode on the same machine, and I can connect to it from slrn on a machine on the local network, but not on the same machine

So it's definitely not a problem of slrn. Maybe the other clients (definitely these from other machines) do connect not to localhost but to the machines network adresse where leafnode allows it.

I just updated slrn to version 0.9.9p1; not sure if that will help you.

I think leafnode doesn't recognise IPv6 addresses as local. If you put export NNTPSERVER=127.0.0.1 in your profile, it works, I found, but using "localhost" does not.
