Wenpin, make sure you have the nnrpaccess line in there, if your server |
| 41 |
requires password: |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
nnrpaccess "your.news.server.com" "username" "password" |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Also, make sure you set the NNTPSERVER environment variable so slrn knows |
| 46 |
what server to connect to. Have you set that variable yet? |
