Do this as user, not as root. From the shell, type the following:
export NNTPSERVER=
The next step is to view the groups on your server and subscribe to one or more. This is
done by creating a .newsrc file. As an example, let??™s use slrn. Type the following:
slrn -f .jnewsrc ??“ create
This configuration file, located at /etc/slrn.rc, is well commented and easy to
customize.
When you create the .newsrc file, and, if necessary, log in, slrn will get all the groups
available on the server. To subscribe to an interesting group, select it from the list and
type a capital S. To just see your subscribed groups, type a capital L, followed by the Esc
key, and then the number 1.
Figure 16.7 shows slrn in action.
