Leafnode is an NNTP proxy suitable for small sites:
http://leafnode.sourceforge.net/


Issues:

1. Leafnode relies on hard-link counts, so current implementation of hlinks 
on FAT32 breaks it. News spool has to be on NTFS, and it seems this will be 
an NT/2K/XP only package.

2. Leafnode requires existence of "news" user and "news" group at runtime.
It also requires existence of "root" user with UID 0 at build stage 
(specifically during 'make install'). These will result in some editing of
/etc/group and /etc/passwd files. 

3. Leafnode requires a superserver to function properly. I intend to limit 
it to xinetd to keep things simple in README, postinstall, patches, etc.
though it can later be reverted to inetd.

Are these issues/restrictions tolerable for a Cygwin package?
