Package: nn
Version: 6.7.2-1

nn exits immediately with an error message:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ nn
  hostname=Psilocybe, You need a fully qualified domain name

A peek at the source (set_domain() in nntp.c) reveals that nn attempts
to get the domain name by looking for a "domain" line in
/etc/resolv.conf, failing if this doesn't succeed. Very often, there
will be no such line, and it's silly to have to insert it just to make
nn happy. nn shouldn't do this anyway, it should use getdomainname()
like everyone else.
