HELP: Gnus Can Not Access Leafnode!

[Steven Woody]

for the reason of speed up, i changed my gnus configuration and conduct it to
access a local leafnode server, that is,

       (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "localhost"))

i found the leafnode works okay, because the slrn can read news articles no
problem. of course, i have put a line in the /etc/nntpservers,

         localhost.


however, gnus seems not happy with this change.  when i started it, it just
stalled. nothing display, no key can type in except the "ctrl-g". i checked the
*Message* buffer, but almost nothing found.

anyone has any clue? thanks.
