"Works for me" aka "Cannot reproduce". (leafnode-2.0.0.alpha20021108a)

I tried 1) --prefix=/var/tmp/ln2
        2) --prefix=/var/tmp/ln2 --sysconfdir='${prefix}/etc'

Indeed, it is not possible to put a spool into a subdirectory of another
spool. Texpire will start cleaning out newsgroups it does not know after
a while (read: after the global expire).

With that prefix, the spool should be in
/opt/leafnode2/var/spool/news. You can also use
--with-spooldir=/var/spool/leafnode2, for example.
