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

XFree 4.2 server DIY (chrooted env)
