As in, the very first script that gets run when the system is booted? That's way too early; in particular, the login process will completely wipe your environment. You probably want to put this: > NNTPSERVER=news.btx.dtag.de > export NNTPSERVER in your shell's dotfiles, probably .bashrc. ('man bash' and look under INVOCATION to see what files get read when.) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
