[news.config] Naming a site

paul@deadpup.UUCP (paul) (01/13/90)

I am in the process of trying to connect one machine off of a small
(four systems, scattered about one building) uucp network to the
network at large. Before actively looking for a feed, I want to have
a valid name chosen. The current name of the machine is "falcon,"
but when I grep the maps, I find a falcon in Europe, and a falcon
not registered, but referenced in the US. Am I correct in the
assumtion that if I need to rename the machine lest smart mailers
become confused and the entrails of a goat be found tied in square
knots? In particular, should I explicitly choose a name that is not
to be found anywhere in the maps?
