I looked at inn.conf and saw that 'server' was unset. I read the man pages 
and looked at all examples I had, and none told me what to set it to. I 
made up a name. I restarted the server, and got this error message:


inews failed: Warning Can't connect to server -- Article will be spooled.


I then changed the name to innd, thinking that was the name of the daemon, but the error 
message was the same. Could someone tell me how I am to determine what to enter for 
'server' in inn.conf?

Thanks,

Bill Tangren
