[leafnode-list] leafnode 1.9.28 and SSL update



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I received a bugfix from a debian user, to fix fetchnews crashes.
The patch is appended below and can be downloaded from

http://mandree.home.pages.de/leafnode/leafnode-1.9.28.Shan.patch

It may apply to older versions, I did not check.
- ----------
I have also uploaded a new FAQ for leafnode, that documents how to use
leafnode with SourceForge's SSL NNTP server. Some things to note:

1. SourceForge's NNTP server is pretty broken and hardly responds.

2. The setup has not been tested in real life.

3. SourceForge limits upstream posts to avoid spam, but leafnode does
   not implement any POST rate limiting.

4. This setup suggestion requires third-party software, stunnel by
   Michal Trojnara et al., available from http://stunnel.mirt.net/

The FAQ is at http://mandree.home.pages.de/leafnode/FAQ.html
To find it:
1. enter the above URL
2. click on "Configuration problems"
3. click on "How do I use fetchnews with NNTP/SSL servers, such as
   nntp.sourceforge.net?"
