Your (x)inetd is configured to run Leafnode, not Noffle (unless you want to use
Leafnode, in which case you're asking the wrong list....). If you're using
inetd, you need to replace the 'nntp' line there with

nntp stream tcp nowait news /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/bin/noffle -r

(assuming your noffle executable is in /usr/local/bin). If it's xinetd you use,
edit packages/redhat/noffle-xinetd and change 'disable = yes' to 'disable =
no', and copy it to /etc/xinetd.d and remove any file there that runs leafnode.
