[leafnode-list] I broke slrn

[hawat.thufir at gmail.com]

Hiya,

I'm following up on a post to the usenet group news.software.readers 
entitled "I broke slrn" (where I've said that I'm following up here).

Is this a slrn or leafnode problem?

Prior to getting leafnode configured I was using slrn without problem, 
using my ISP's news server.  Once leafnode was up and running, from the 
first I could telnet into "localhost 119", slrn stopped working as 
expected.
