Don't make these directories world-writable, they don't even need to be
group-writable. Choose either:

1. belong to user root, group news, group-writable (rwxrwsr-x)

2. belong to user news, user-writable (rwxr-xr-x)

Leafnode itself is currently not consistent for the permissions it uses
to create directories, this will also change in rc7.

I think it's a bug if leafnode cannot work standalone, without upstream
servers, should be fixed for -rc7.

No, just write it as first parameter into your config.

I am not aware of any discussion on this topic, and the -ma version is
far from finished. In the end, the leafnode-versions all come with
LGPL/MIT-style licenses, so no-one can take away any version that
Cornelius or I have released, just backup them and off you go.
