Put a file something like this in .trn/access (in your home dir)...at least...this works for me. Dunno how to do it globally: [newsserver] NNTP Server = news.verizon.net Auth User = res1g2qc Auth Password = didyouthinkidleaveitin Force Auth = yes # This section tells trn what newsrc groups you want to use. If you # define multiple entries with the same group number, all of the .newsrcs # are combined and used together. The first entry encountered will be # the first group that trn will open. Otherwise the numbers dictate the # presentation order (see Ctrl-N and Ctrl-P). You can have multiple # .newsrc's from the same server or different servers, however you like. # The ID name "default" always exists with your compiled-in defaults. # If you leave off the newsrc name, the default is supplied. If you # don't want any groups added to an rc, specify "no" in the "Add Groups" # field. If you don't want new-group checking but want to manually # add groups, specify "manual". The default is "yes". #[Group 1] #ID = local #Newsrc = ~/.newsrc #Add Groups = YES [Group 1] ID = newsserver Newsrc = ~/.newsrc Add Groups = YES --------End-------- Add aditional entries as appropriate. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV/3 | "And if the ground yawned, Phone: (814) 455-7333 | I'd step to the side and say, Email: davros at ycardz.com | "Hey ground!
