    I installed nn 6.7.3-10build1 from the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS software-center

    when I run nn I get
    ... You need a fully qualified domain name

    anyone have a sample configuration file?

    tried these
    http://www.ru.j-npcs.org/usoft/WWW/HOWTO/News-HOWTO-5.html http://www.nndev.org/
    http://www.tldp.org/LDP/nag/node283.html

    remember something about domain
    the config.h is read-only

    resolve.conf is is read-only and ?generated?

    # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN nameserver 127.0.1.1

    this works for slrn

    http://slrn.sourceforge.net/docs/slrn-FAQ-2.html#ss2.2

    Some Linux distributions (e.g. Ubuntu) do not provide the option of giving the system a fully qualified domain name during installation. This can be fixed by editing the /etc/hosts file. E.g.,

    Before:

    127.0.0.1 localhost
    127.0.1.1 desktop

    After:

    127.0.0.1 localhost
    127.0.1.1 desktop.your.domain desktop

    same error message for nn
