Does knode perchance connect to another IP of your computer, which is
NOT allowed in hosts.allow?

Most libwrap installations also ship with the "tcpdmatch" program (mine
is in /usr/sbin on SuSE Linux 7.3 and FreeBSD 4.7-PRERELEASE, which is
outside the normal $PATH for users) that you can use to figure which
rule exactly led to the refusal -- ignore /etc/inetd.conf related
warnings when using xinetd.

Try: /usr/sbin/tcpdmatch nntp (host)     <- replace (host), of course

If you have only recently switched to xinetd, try adding "id = leafnode"
to your nntp service configuration in xinetd.conf or xinetd.d/nntp.
