Leafnode is a USENET software package designed for small sites, with a
|
|
few tens of readers and only a slow link to the net.
|
|
|
|
It consists of several programs, three essential ones and several add-ons.
|
|
|
|
- Leafnode is the NNTP server. It talks to the normal news clients,
|
|
and stores readership data.
|
|
|
|
- Fetchnews is the NNTP news-gatherer. It looks at the readership data
|
|
Leafnode stores, and selects what groups to pull news from.
|
|
|
|
- Texpire is responsible for deleting old and uninteresting news. It
|
|
deletes all discussion threads that are old and not recently read.
