I think, it was a problem of the rights.
Leafnode is runnung as "news", and the owner of the files in
/etc/leafnode was "root", because i installed under root. I changed
owner and group in /etc/leafnode to "news", and now world is o.k. again.

Question, which user must have /etc/leafnode/. - "news" or "root"?
