I did that.  I have xinetd version 2.3.4. according to the RPM suffix.   I 
modified it as follows:

#New nntp for leafnode 2.
service nntp
{
        flags           = REUSE
        socket_type     = stream
        wait            = no
        user            = news
        server          = /opt/leafnode2/sbin/leafnode
        log_on_failure  += USERID
}
#End of nntp.


To restart it I have been using "service xinetd restart."  The man page 
metions both SIGUSR2  (causes a hard reconfiguration) and SIGHUP (causes a 
state dump.)  After running "service xinetd restart"  I ran fetchnews from 
the /opt/leafnode/sbin/directory.  If I run fetchnews or leafnode without a 
Path, I get the original 1.9.24 executables.  After changing 
/etc/xinetd.d/leafnode and running fetchnews -f, my newsreader (knode) could 
not find the new group list to select from (at the moment, it is saying 
"Unable to resolve hostname",) so I copied the old "interesting.groups" files 
across.  Then:-

Also, there was no output to the screen, although I was running "fetchnews 
-vvv."

Sorry, this is way out of my depth.  I cannot find a man page for either 
command.  I am basically an end user who is not afraid to dabble (a bit more 
than a "keyboard and monitor" man.)
