slrn and leafnode

[Mark Wagnon <mwagnon1@home.com>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to set up slrn to use leafnode. Leafnode appears to be
installed okay and I have a list of newsgroup descriptions and all
other things that leafnode/fetchnews seems to set up. However, I
can't get slrn to behave. I keep getting this error:


   Reading startup file /etc/news//slrn.rc.
   Reading startup file /home/mwagnon/.slrnrc.You need to set the
   NNTPSERVER environment variable to your server name.
   Example (csh): setenv NNTPSERVER my.news.server
   slrn fatal error:
   Unable to select server/post object.

My question is, *what* do I set as my news server when using
leafnode? Do I use localhost? news.smaug.com (my system's domain)?
Also, where do I set it? I've tried as an environment variable, in
the /etc/news/server file, but I keep getting this error and slrn
craps out :'(

Anyone else out there using slrn and leafnode? How did you configure
slrn?

Thanks
