A word of warning: there's no way back from leafnode-2 snapshots to
leafnode-1 without losing your news spool.

So file a bug report against your distribution's packages. This is a
package-specific problem that cannot be solved here.

You have to do the inetd or xinetd setup manually, so you get the
choice. Choose either one, but beware of bad inetd implementations (most
do only rate limiting, but do not impose limits on the absolute number
of clients) and make sure you either use tcpd or tell your inetd/xinetd
to use libwrap.
