However, I have encountered one problem, and have been unable to locate the cause of it. My machines name is dan.amd.bnl.gov, but when I post an article that machine the From: line says "From abrams@dan.tmc.edu". Grepping the trn source for "dan.amd" produces: Pnews: '') sitename="dan.amd" ;; Pnews: sitename="dan.amd" Rnmail: '') sitename="dan.amd" ;; Rnmail: undef) sitename="dan.amd" ;; config.h: #define SITENAME "dan.amd" config.sh: sitename='dan.amd' and a grep for "bnl.gov": Pnews: sitename=${sitename}.bnl.gov Rnmail: sitename=${sitename}.bnl.gov config.h: #define OURDOMAIN "bnl.gov" config.sh: domain='bnl.gov' And in NNTP/common/conf.h: #define DOMAIN "bnl.gov" I've defined HOSTFILE in config.h as dan.amd.bnl.gov #define HOSTFILE "/usr/local/lib/usenetname" I then thought that I could find tmc.edu in either trn's or nntp's source. All that I turned up were comments! grep tmc.edu Nntp/*/* Nntp/common/README.SYSV: from archi... Nntp/common/README.SYSV: If you hav... Nntp/doc/nntpd.dst: Stan Barber (In...

I had to login on this machine in order to post an article with the correct return address. Any clues as to what to do or what to look for would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
