Description

I tried to "keybase login" with my wifi down and was treated to the output "error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND".

Perhaps something a bit more user friendly? :)

Research direction

Start by reproducing `keybase login` with the network unavailable and inspect where the `getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND` output is produced. Done means the same failure gives users a clear, friendly explanation instead of the raw error.
