When I installed I didn't enter a news server when prompted to. I
figured I'd be using Netscape to read news. I was wrong. I want
to try slrn, but now it craps out because it's looking for a
local news server.
Is there a special configuration command that I need to use.
Here's what I get in case you're interested:
smaug:~$ slrn
slrn 0.9.5.6 (May 25 1999 13:59:52)
Reading startup file /etc/news/slrn.rc.
Using newsrc file .jnewsrc for server news.smaug.com.Unable to
open /home/mwagnon/.jnewsrc. I will try .newsrc.
Connecting to host news.smaug.com ...news.smaug.com: Unknown
host.
slrn fatal error:
Failed to initialize server.
Which leaves me very sad.
Any ideas?
BTW, I ran slrn with the -h option and that got me on, but whatta
PITA.
TIA
