[news.admin] Seeking SAs

skyler@ecsvax.uncecs.edu (Patricia Roberts) (01/24/89)

How is a net.plebe supposed to find the SA of a particular site?

This has come up in two ways--other readers have asked me how to
identify the SA of their site, I'm trying to find the SA for
another site (cs.chalmers.se)

How is one supposed to go about this?

Look in the site's UUCP map entry.

Ask SRI-NIC for the domain's administrator. (Send mail to SERVICE@SRI-NIC.ARPA
and on the Subject: line say "WHOIS domain", i.e., "WHOIS MIT.EDU".)

If all else fails, send mail to the site's postmaster and/or root.

Surely these "other readers" were pulling your leg?  Or perhaps they're
truly mentally defective?  Why don't they just ask the person who gave
them their account?
