These are not leafnode option.

The ssh tunnel has to be built before fetchnews is called and
will not be set up by fetchnews itself. The following from my
crontab works fine for me (for a news server that is only
accessible from within uni-bonn.de and leafnode-2.x):

su joerg -c 'ssh1 -C -f -x -i /home/joerg/.ssh/specialkey -L
1119:news.uni-bonn.de:119 foobar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
/bin/false'; /usr/local/sbin/fetchnews -S localhost:1119
