To diagnose problems like this, you have several options:

- turn on network-IO debugging in leafnode and look at the log.  the
  manual pages have info about the debug values needed.

- access your leafnode installation using netcat or telnet and try some
  NNTP commands manually -> try "help" as the first command.

- use "strace(1)" on both leafnode and slrn.
