Initial import of Leafnode 1.9.22 into the NetBSD packages collection
as news/leafnode. Leafnode is a USENET software package designed for small sites, with a few tens of readers and only a slow link to the net. The work in this package is based on that of Ingolf Steinbach in PR#13830. wiz@ made some suggestions as well. Thanks to both of them.

+
+Edit ${LEAFNODE_CONFDIR}/config and make the necessary local
+changes.
+
+Leafnode needs to be run from inetd. An example configuration for
+/etc/inetd.conf is as follows:
+nntp stream tcp nowait news ${PREFIX}/sbin/leafnode leafnode
+nntp stream tcp6 nowait news ${PREFIX}/sbin/leafnode leafnode
+
+Edit the news user's crontab to run an expiry job. For example, add:
+0 4 * * * ${PREFIX}/sbin/texpire
+
+As root or news, run "fetchnews". This may take some time. Then connect
+to the leafnode server with an NNTP client. Select the groups you want
+to read in the future by reading the "default" article in them.
+Run "fetchnews" again. This run will pick up all the groups you want to
+read. You may wish to automate the running of "fetchnews".
