leafnode not allowing connections - Solved elsewhere

I'm just playing around a bit with leafnode, I wanted to use it with x-privat.org and hopefully keep anonymous in NGs
I installed and configured leafnode.

The FQDN is set to my dynamic dns server
my leafnode config file has been setup with user/pass, server, port
my hosts.allow/deny are actually removed for now, and there is no firewall running

I can run the leafnode program/daemon and it shows it is running

200 Leafnode NNTP Daemon, version 1.11.7 running at [dns] (my fqdn: [dns])

I should be able to use slrn or even telnet to connect but it says connection refused.
I looked around for a log file, you know leafnode.log or something but I couldn't find. There is a News.log

Here's the output, it seems to say the connection to x-private was successfull:

Nov 28 16:23:26 Desktop leafnode[30420]: connect from (local file) (no IP) to [dns] (no IP) (my fqdn: [dns])

Anybody have any ideas why the connection is refused? I'm not sure which avenue to follow now since it won't even allow localhost
I see no howto for arch, or information in forum so I'm not sure if it requires something else.

Oh and initial fetch does work:

[root@Desktop log]# sudo fetchnews -vvv -n alt.os.linux.ubuntu -x 2000

I've more or less followed the howto for ubuntu here:

I'd appreciate any help at all
thankies

I will try to write a wiki reguarding this but for those running into this issue download the package from
site and read install, the problem WAS xinetd. The author of the wiki helped me out
