If you want it global then in /etc/profile put

NNTPSERVER=servername;export NNTPSERVER

and in /etc/csh.cshrc put

setenv NNTPSERVER servername

obviously replacing "servername" with whatever is appropriate.

That should do the trick. This is for hamm, but the /etc/profile is
pretty much universal, while the global CSH file may vary.
