This "user:group=news.wheel" looks odd. OTOH, the same command here yields:

ADD : nntp proto=tcp, wait.max=0.40, user.group=news.(null) builtin=0 server=/usr/sbin/tcpd

which doesn't look very good either. If this is indeed the problem,
putting

nntp    stream  tcp     nowait  news.news   /usr/sbin/tcpd /path/to/leafnode

should fix the problem.

This is strange (IMO).

Is the output from leafnode logged somewhere? (How does the /etc/syslog.conf
look like?)
