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.)
