Now that I've installed news patch 6, I find that all locally posted articles get sent to the local machine. Here are the specifics: In localize.sh, I have GENERICPATH defined to "mit-%s", but neither HIDDENNET nor GENERICFROM defined. In sys, I have a line starting with: mit-eddie:world,usa,[...] I tried changing that to ME, but apparantly that doesn't work, since when I posted an article, inews said "cannot find my name "mit-eddie" in /usr/local/lib/news/sys".

I have GENERICPATH set to 'ucsfcgl' and GENERICFROM set to 'cgl.ucsf.edu' and inews barfs with "cannot find my name 'ucsfcgl' in /usr/local/lib/news/sys". Can this be fixed in patch #7?
