Tim Moony: |I used to put news.newsfeeder.com in my /etc/nntpserver, but I don't know |if there is any other means to do this? | |Any pointer is appreciated. Ciao. Every OS and news reader combo seems to have their own preference for where a "preferred nntpserver file" should go, if they even recognize one (not all do). Just set the $NNTPSERVER env var to your news host. That'll work with most every newsreader on common UNIX OSs. Randall Hopper
