Oh ok -- launch slrn like this (create a file slrn.sh in your homedir and chmod
+x it, call slrn using ./slrn.sh)
#!/bin/sh
NNTPSERVER=news.cis.dfn.de
ORGANIZATION='BytesForAll.Org'
slrn -C -k0 -f .newsrc -h news.cis.dfn.de

I recommend news.cis.dfn.de - you have to register at http://news.cis.dfn.de
for starters.
