Subject: [gentoo-user] How to access newsgroup?

1 hi, all,
2
3 I want to read some newsgroup so emerged net-nntp/slrn.
4
5 Then I uncompressed "/usr/share/doc/slrn-0.9.9_p1/slrn.rc.bz2" and modify
6 username/hostname/realname, then saved as $HOME/.slrnrc.
7
8 After that, I run
9
10 wenpincui@Gentoo ~ $ slrn --create -h news.newsgroup.com.hk
11 slrn 0.9.9p1
12
13 Loading /usr/share/slrn/slang/slrn.sl
14 Reading startup file /home/wenpincui/.slrnrc.***Warning: Unable to find a unique fully-qualified host name.
15 slrn will not generate any Message-IDs.
16 Please note that the "hostname" setting does not affect this;
17 see the "slrn reference manual" for details.
18
19 Using newsrc file /home/wenpincui/.jnewsrc for server news.newsgroup.com.hk.
20 Connecting to host news.newsgroup.com.hk ...
21 Unable to make connection. Giving up.
22
23 Run-Time Error
24 slrn fatal error:
25 Failed to initialize server.
26
27 My question is:
28 Am I using slrn correctly?
29 If so, maybe it's resulted by damn firewall, I have to give up.
