[arch-general] Leafnode and Systemd

[Whiskers]

Thank you to all those who responded  :))

I now have Leafnode-2 up and running smoothly with systemd.

I have created these files:

  $ cat /etc/systemd/system/leafnode.socket
  [Unit]
  Description=Leafnode NNTP Socket
  
  [Socket]
  ListenStream=119
  Accept=yes
  
  [Install]
  WantedBy=sockets.target

and

  $ cat /etc/systemd/system/leafnode at .service
  [Unit]
  Description=Leafnode NNTP service
  After=syslog.target
  
  [Service]
  ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/leafnode
  StandardInput=socket
  User=news

Access control depends entirely on ufw (iptables), rather than specifying
a hostname or IPv6 or IPv4 number in leafnode.socket, although that would
probably work instead.  The ListenStream line could probably be omitted
entirely, unless some port other than 119 is required.

Run 

  # systemctl start leafnode.socket

and 

  # systemctl enable leafnode.socket

to start systemd listening for calls for Leafnode immediately and after
the next system boot.
