Comment(by martinsm@…):

 Replying to [comment:4 martin.osx@…]:
 > Of course leafnode won't show with netstat. On MacOS we use launchd
 which replaces init, cron and inetd. I take it you know how inetd or
 xinetd work. As said launchd works the same way - only it is configured
 with hip and modern xml files.

 > The needed xml files are part of the port. As well as .command files to
 load them - Ahh, you might not know either: .command is the extension for
 shell scripts used by Mac OS. That is: if you use .command finder will
 start the script on double click. I use Z-Shell - so you should have
 install the Z-Shell port.

 OK, some progress, I found the directory in applications, double clicked
 the restart leafnode command file, enter password and leafnode starts....
 nntp now visible in netstat -a | grep LISTEN
 Now thunderbird can access leafnode, fine but trying to set up slrn to
 access it is another problem:
 rakuba:~ martinsmith$ slrn -f /Users/martinsmith/.jnewsrc --create
 slrn 0.9.8.1 [2004-10-07]

 Using newsrc file /Users/martinsmith/.jnewsrc for server localhost.
 Connecting to host localhost ...
 Failed to initialize server
 Reason: 502 Remote access denied.
 slrn fatal error:
 Failed to initialize server.
 and on the console:
 21/12/2008 18:56:21 leafnode[384] Denying access from address outside the
 local networks. (Check config.example.)
 but slrn is on the localhost ???

 Anyway leafnode is not started at startup, where should I look for the
 command file that starts leafnode, or where should it be?
 That is the next important thing to sort out, slrn can follow later
 Any clues, many thanks
