- That's exactly what Vince means. Your static setup is wrong. The node:
- entry in static is suppopsed to carry a fully qualified domain name. If
- your machine's uucpname is carlos, and you don't have an
- otherwise-registered domain name, this should most probably be
- 'carlos.UUCP'. Make sure you submit a proper map entry to
- uucpmap@rutgers.edu, so people will be able to find your site.

- Ah, but it's not a bug. You've given Helldiver bad information to work
