From slrn(1):
If no server is specified on the command line using the -h
option, the server specified by the NNTPSERVER environment
variable will be used. The -f option specifies which
newsrc file should be used. If none is specified, a
default value of .jnewsrc will be used. This value can be
set on a server by server basis using the .slrnrc initial
ization file.
Putting the name of the server in /etc/nntpserver (/etc/news/server on
potato) should also work.
