looks like you're running something that starts fetchnews, and then
your other scripts/cron-jobs try it, too.  you need to find all places
fetchnews gets called.  maybe you installed the first version by
rpm(1) or apt-get or whatever, and tweaked the configuration and
run-scripts or cron-jobs without removing those older scripts.

regarding leafnode:  this is the local daemon used by applications.
its operation is intertwined with fetchnews, but killing fetchnews
doesn't affect leafnode per se.
