since you didn't tell what shell you use, I'll assume bash. the global
configuration files are /etc/profile and /etc/bashrc, and personal config
files are ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc. For more info on how bash uses
these files, chek out the "Invocation" section in the bash man page.
In your casse, simply put the following line in /etc/profile:
export NNTPSERVER=put.your.newsserver.here
