Honestly, I haven't runtime tested leadnode2.
I just checked why the build has stopped during a random build.

The configure script run the command: id -u news:
a=`$ID -u $RUNAS_USER`
if test -z "$a" ; then
    as_fn_error $? "user $RUNAS_USER does not exist. Please add this user before building leafnode.
                  Most systems have man adduser or man useradd to tell you how to do this." "$LINENO" 5
else
...

This test is used to print a warning because it expect a native
build:
WARNING: user $RUNAS_USER cannot be used to run leafnode for security reasons.
Be sure to configure run_as_user to an unprivileged user, else leafnode will not run."

I'm adding Bernd to cc since it use leadnode2.

Best regards,
Romain
