Thank you. I was running it with the -h option, but I didn't have to before. I had both above mentioned files in /etc though. /etc/nntpserver contained news.smaug.com (no good) and /etc/news.server contained my actual news server. Now it works fine. Thanks again. PS- hopefully I've learned a lesson here...always scour /etc thoroughly before posting! -- __ _ Mark Wagnon Debian GNU/ -o) / / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chula Vista, CA /\\/ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] _\_v____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ http://www.debian.org
