It would then seem that either the documentation is missing from the
package. Is there an "INSTALL" file? You can check with
dpkg -L leafnode\*

Please check other documentation, in the package, too, and if it's really
missing (including from files such as README.Debian.gz or thereabouts),
please file a bug against the package in your distribution. Not that it
will be fixed on short notice in Ubuntu...

If it knows the correct server name, passed on the command line, in its
tinrc file, or perhaps in /etc/profile* related files that set the
environment variables such as NNTPSERVER or the file /etc/nntpserver.
