This is assuming that you run a standalone system that you just want
to download news to so you can read at your leisure. If this is the case
then you don't want to use what you put in your '/etc/HOSTNAME'.
Make sure that your '/etc/NNTPSERVER' or $NNTPSERVER says 'localhost',
then within your news reader, put the newsserver as 'localhost' as well.
Run '/usr/local/sbin/fetch -vv' so that it will get all the available
news groups (this takes a VERY long time) when done, open your
newsreader and subscribe to the groups you wish to read. Then run fetch
again so that it will download your selected news groups.
Hope this helps. also I noticed above that you typed loclhost,
hopefully that was a typo and not what you actually put. Let me know if
this helps.
