<This package was filled by weight not volume.>
Please provide comments to the following:
- I receive and send news only using the Internet.
- The name of the machine running news just changed
from: etl.arpa
to: ai.etl.army.mil
- The various pieces of news software pick-off the machine name
using hostname(), thus, the news runs on machine name "ai".
STATEMENT: ai does not seem like a good name to be passing around
USENET style (flat name space) in places such as the
path header of articles. etl was not a great name
but it was better than ai.
Should I hard wire a machine name something like "ai-etl-army-mil"?
How are other similar sites handling this?
As the American Express ad says, "What will you do? What will you do?"

And yes I know that the From: line and the Article: line are busted in the articles that I am posting. I am in the process of fixing that. -- Richard Rosenthal | ARPANET: richr@etl.arpa US Army Engineer Topographic Laboratories | UUCP: ??? Ft. Belvoir, VA 22060-5546 | PHONE: +1 202 355 2830

That's easy. Make your news software always use the name "ai.etl.army.mil", even in Path lines. Check defs.h carefully; I think it has some provision for this. Although I could be wrong. ..b
