This is becoming a FAQ. :-)

joey@kite:/usr/doc/slrn>ls README.slrnpull.gz 
README.slrnpull.gz

Read this file. Specifically:

Setting up a minimal .slrnrc file.  
==================================

Assume that the SLRNPULL_ROOT refers to the directory
/var/spool/slrnpull.  Then the following .slrnrc lines should be
sufficient to tell slrn how to deal with the news provided by
slrnpull:

    set spool_inn_root          "/var/spool/slrnpull"
    set spool_root              "/var/spool/slrnpull/news"
    set spool_nov_root          "/var/spool/slrnpull/news"
    set read_active             1
    set use_slrnpull            1
