The slrnpull program provides the option to use the env variable NNTPSERVER instead of passing the newsserver by argument.
As being not that experienced in unix I had a look at the rcS script to look how this might be done. Following the PATH setting in this file I added these two lines: NNTPSERVER=news.btx.dtag.de export NNTPSERVER then did a new init and tried a echo $NNTPSERVER which resulted in a blank line in response. What was my fault and was this actually slrnpull required? Any comments are grately appreciated. Robert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
