You should set a line like this in trn as well (after we get your system
working). Your [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not a valid emailaddress if
someone chooses to reply via mail. It is not nice to get bounces because
of screwed up addresses.

Sounds swedish :-)

make /etc/hosts look like:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 drollsden.home.net drollsden
Drop the 0.0.0.0 line. I never used that one.

This is quite right, it should be different.

Looks OK to me.
So fix your /etc/hosts
Try hostname and dnsdomainname again and then trn.
Maybe this works for you.
