Wow - thanks for the fast turnaround!  Sorry it looks like a mailed
a whole bunch of emails same time last night, but I actually had a
problem with postfix deferring mails for some reason and I only
fixed it last night.

Hmm.  Applied the patch.  Recompiled, make installed, restarted
xinetd:

$ cat /etc/hosts|grep armadillo
127.0.0.1 armadillo.piggo.dyndns.org localhost
192.168.0.1 armadillo dns mail www news

$ telnet armadillo.piggo.dyndns.org nntp
Trying 127.0.0.1...

$ sudo fetchnews -vvv

freenews.iinet.net.au is my upstream server.

Changed /etc/hosts:

$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1	localhost
192.168.0.1 armadillo.piggo.dyndns.org armadillo dns mail www news

$ cat /etc/hosts.allow | grep leafnode
leafnode: 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.1

Restarted dnsmasq and xinetd.

$ telnet armadillo.piggo.dyndns.org nntp
Trying 192.168.0.1...
Connected to armadillo.piggo.dyndns.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

Not working.

I'll keep tinkering but something doesn't seem right.
