I am running leafnode here from sources with no real issues.  Be sure
that you have at least read the one article in each group that leafnode
places there.  Everything works okay when you run fetch -vvv which
means verbose, verbose, verbose?  How do you enable fetch?  Perhaps in
ip-up?  I would subscribe to the groups and enter each group in slrn
and read the one article in there after you subscribe.  slrn had a
rather rough time for me also until I manually read each article that
leafnode places there as a placeholder of sorts.
