As I explained at the top of this thread, I've set up leafnode, have 
downloaded news groups from my NNTP server (news.alt.net), and now am 
trying to access my local host from an NNTP client. When I designate 
localhost as my local news server, I get "Connection refused". Here's 
what netstat shows:

Active Internet connections (only servers)

Should there be an entry for localhost.localcom:nntp? If so, how is this 
entry made?
