Subject: trn trouble on slink
When I try to run trn, I get the following error:
-------------------
Warning: Couldn't open /etc/news/whoami to determine hostname!
Caught an internal error--.newsrc restored
-------------------
is the inews package installed? I think it's what populates /etc/news.
Anyway, /etc/news/whoami should contain a single line that specifies your
fully qualified domain name (i.e. foo.neu.edu).
