 |I am new to freebsd and have a silly question.
 |I am trying to use the slrn that came with the 2.2.2 cd.
 |Where is the slrnrc file located so I can edit it.

You can stick the setting you want in ~/.slrnrc and that will override the
global file.

But if you want to find the global file, here's a general procedure for
finding files in packages:

       pkg_info -Ia | grep -i slrn        
       pkg_info -L <real-package-name>

The first will spit out in the first column what the real name of the
package is.  Then replace <real-package-name> with that and run the second
command.  That will list all the files in the package.  This should tell
you where the system-wide slrnrc was put.
