I'll try to re-build my slrn with canlock support, and see what results I
can get (I use Noffle rather than Leafnode).

Fallen at first hurdle. Compiling the canlock2b package for my Mandriva
system is beyond my knowledge; the tarball has a makefile but no configure
script or intallation instructions (beyond "How to compile it: If you are
lucky, it will be enough to unpack the archive, change to it top directory
and run make").

You *could* try the following. The tin newsreader source contains
libcanlock (recent versions of it do, anyway). I happened to have a copy
of tin version 1.8.0 already unpacked, so I changed to the relevant
directory (in my case /usr/local/src/tin-1.8.0/libcanlock) and executed
the 'Build' script. This worked fine and built the relevant library
libcanlock.a together with a couple of test executables to verify the
lib is working OK.

Then, when building slrn, do:

$ ./configure --with-canlock=/usr/local/src/tin-1.8.0/libcanlock

(obviously specifying the correct location above).

[snip]

--with-canlock[=DIR]
Tells slrn to make use of the canlock library (needed to use
"Cancel-Locks" when posting, see <http://cssri.meowing.net/>).
USE WITH CARE: libcanlock does not seem to be fully mature yet; also,
the library does not have an installation routine. When installing it by
hand, be careful to copy only canlock.h (and none of the other header
files that come with it) into your system include directory.

Actually, '--with-canlock=<dir>' worked fine. I didn't need to copy the
header file.
