This is good news--no pun intended :)

Ooops... I had forgotten. Now the contents of news.debug is much more
meaningful. I include below an excerpt, from which I have stripped the

My primary NNTP server is `news.mclink.it',
i.e. `newsreader2.mclink.it'. It carries worldwide Usenet hierarchies
such as comp.*, sci.*, etc.. The alternate server `forum.mclink.it'
(see the line "200 MC-link Custom News-server V1.06 ready, (posting
OK)") carries the local hierarchy mclink.* and is a custom NNTP
gateway to an old BBS.

Leafnode is apparently trying to get mclink.* groups also from
`news.mclink.it', and worldwide groups from `forum.mclink.it'. Of the
2 NNTP servers, only `forum.mclink.it' requires authentication (see
the line "381 Password required, use AUTHINFO PASS Password").

Here is the forum.mclink.it entry in /etc/news/leafnode/config:

## This is another news server which stores some groups that are not
## available on the first one. You can define username, password and port
## for each server separately.
server = forum.mclink.it
username = Username
password = PassWd
