RIght, it's not a function of either trn or leafnode. Trn will work with any
NNTP server, including Leafnode. On my OS, Gentoo, I believe leafnode has a
dependency on xinetd, which is configured as following:

/etc/xinetd.d/leafnode

service nntp
{
        disable         = no
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = news
        flags           = REUSE
        server          = /usr/sbin/leafnode
        bind            = 127.0.0.1
        log_on_failure  += USERID
}

xinetd is simply started at boot, at leafnode automatically binds to
127.0.0.1 (localhost). Of course your hosts file will have to be sane for it
to work.

I'm sure there are many ways of binding leafnode to localhost, and directing
trn to 127.0.0.1. :)
