Indeed, I fixed that.

*shrug* it sorta works for me, modulo the many nonimplemented
commands. It's impertinent that their NNTPd claims 3.0 version. I don't
want to know what 2.x and 1.x have been like.

I don't think leafnode-1 will get nntps support. leafnode-2 might, but
then again, I cannot say if leafnode-2.0 will or only later versions.

I might add another FAQ entry on how to run leafnode as nntpd
server. It's easy with stunnel -- which can play the inetd part, but
with SSL wrapping.
