Here's what I have so far:

[root@localhost ~]#
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/hosts -n
1 # Do not remove the following line, or various programs
2 # that require network functionality will fail.
3 127.0.0.1 geidiprime.servebeer.com geidiprime localhost

So far so good.

[root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/xinetd restart
Stopping xinetd: [ OK ]
Starting xinetd: [ OK ]

Why do that?

If you want to restart the network (which I think you do, if you want
changes to /etc/hosts to take effect), the command is

service network restart

try that and run fetchnews again.

[root@localhost ~]# telnet localhost 119

What have you got in /etc/xinetd.conf? My Mandriva system has a line

includedir /etc/xinetd.d

and there is a file /etc/xinetd.d/leafnode created when I installed
leafnode using the Mandriva RPM - if your system is set up that way, what
have you got in that file? (This is how you tell xinetd how to run the
leafnode deamon when required - alternatively you can use tcp_wrappers but
as you have xinetd it may as well be used).
