slrn unable to connect to leafnode

Description (last modified by ryandesign@…) (diff)
slrn and leafnode both installed on 10.5.6
slrn fails to connect to leafnode with the following error:
Reading startup file /Users/martinsmith/.slrnrc. Using newsrc file /Users/martinsmith/.jnewsrc-localhost for server localhost. Connecting to host localhost ... Failed to initialize server Reason: 502 Remote access denied. slrn fatal error: Failed to initialize server.
Problem is that they are both on the same machine, yet I can connect to leafnode on the mac from slrn on a bsd box on the same local network with no errors. I can also connect slrn on the mac to leafnode on the bsd box. I am guessing this is a leafnode problem, but I may be wrong. Any thoughts?

What's the result of
$ telnet localhost 119
What's in the log messages of leafnode? I'm not familiar with leafnode. Maybe it doesn't listen on localhost.

Log entry

Yes I have checked and rechecked the config file, and I am not attempting to access it from outside the local network, but it does not seem to recognise that... strange, because thunderbird can connect to leafnode on the same machine, and I can connect to it from slrn on a machine on the local network, but not on the same machine

So it's definitely not a problem of slrn. Maybe the other clients (definitely these from other machines) do connect not to localhost but to the machines network adresse where leafnode allows it.
