I have just installed netnews on our main machine "symlab".
Running postnews from symlab seems to be working fine.
However, posting news from a local machine, say "camel",
thru NFS will generate the following message:

        inews: Cannot find my name 'camel' in /var/spool/news/news-lib/sys

Does all the local machine names have to be entered into
the sys file in order to post news? Or did I miss anything?
