I have built trn on my Sun3 (OS4.1) and it reads news beautifully.
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!

Question: Where is the tmc.edu coming from in my From: line?
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.abrams@dan.amd.bnl.gov (The Ancient Programmer) (02/13/91)
Thanks to a clue from Don "Truck" Lewis of Harris Semiconductor, I was lead to the solution to the problem. > Check the definition of DOMAIN in Nntp/common/conf.h. Be sure that it > was correct when you built inews. > -- > Don "Truck" Lewis Harris Semiconductor Domain was defined correctly, however a close reading of the docs concerning DOMAIN showed me what the solutions was. By changing my hostname.le0 file to contain my fully qualified name, and undefining DOMAIN in common/conf.h, the From: line was corrected. I still do not know how tmc.edu got into my From: line. What the hell, it's working. -- INTERNET: abrams@bnl.gov |/ | ^ BITNET: abrams@bnlux0.BITNET |\ |__ /-\
