since you didn't tell what shell you use, I'll assume bash. the global configuration files are /etc/profile and /etc/bashrc, and personal config files are ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc. For more info on how bash uses these files, chek out the "Invocation" section in the bash man page. In your casse, simply put the following line in /etc/profile: export NNTPSERVER=put.your.newsserver.here HTH -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ + Peter Granroth + Microsoft is NOT the answer + + mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] + Microsoft is the question + + http://granroth.ml.org + The answer is NO + ------------------------------------------------------------------
