basics about env variables
The slrnpull program provides the option to
use the env variable NNTPSERVER instead of
passing the newsserver by argument.
As being not that experienced in unix I had
a look at the rcS script to look how this
might be done.
Following the PATH setting in this file I added
these two lines:
NNTPSERVER=news.btx.dtag.de
export NNTPSERVER
then did a new init and tried a echo $NNTPSERVER
which resulted in a blank line in response.
What was my fault and was this actually slrnpull
required?
Any comments are grately appreciated.
