Oh no, not another learning experience! nice Blob.. what is it? a bug? or it might be a face... ObHack: oh oh.. er.. Getting tin to work on my linux box. It kept telling me to set.your.NNTPSERVER.variable, completely ignoring whatever environment variables i set. Not having the patience to work out why, i just appended a set.your.NNTPSERVER.variable with the appropiate ip address to /etc/hosts, and bingo.
