You'd need to change the xinetd.conf or inetd.conf line that points to
the old leafnode-1 executable, replace that by the new path and give
your [x]inetd a SIGHUP. Older xinetd versions need SIGUSR2 instead.

I'd like to see a stack backtrace and possibly a "ngrep port 119" of
that session, make sure to overwrite the password in the ngrep trace if
you need to log in to your news server.

Just create an empty one: cat /dev/null >/new/prefix/etc/leafnode/local.groups
