I am new to unix and bsd.  I have a couple of books on it and have managed
to get netbsd up and running.  I installed the recently talked about ppp
setup and my machine connects to my internet site (according to the lights
on my modem), but returns "hosts unknown" whenever I try to connect to an
outside machine via ftp, finger etc.

I suspect it is because I have not properly set up the named, hosts,
myname, and/or hostname.

How do I do this?
