Dear Leafnode,

While there are no firewalls running, leafnode does not bind to the machine.
Leafnode is run as root in another terminal.

Output of [lsof -i] while leafnode is running:

--------------------------------------
dhcpcd  359         root   14u  IPv4  21510      0t0  UDP *:bootpc
emacs   584 rabbitbabbit    5u  IPv4  20155      0t0  TCP localhost:9292 (LISTEN)
--------------------------------------

Output of [telnet localhost 119] while leafnode is running:

--------------------------------------
Trying ::1...
Connection failed: Connection refused

My hostname: Archetypic

Leafnode config:
--------------------------------------
expire = 400
initialfetch = 200

What is the issue / What further information is required to locate the source of error?

Thank you,
