I have a script like the one you included, but for some reason I can't
remember, I decided to use different machines to read news from different
NNTP hosts.
I would at least keep both/all the site specific .newsrc files with
other names. I will insert some (untested) modifications in your script
below.
| ---------------------------begin file rnl------------------------------
| #!/bin/sh
|
| cd $HOME
if (-e .newsrc)
echo "You were about to erase a .newsrc file."
exit
endif
# mv .newsrc .newsrc-visi
| mv .newsrc-lugnet .newsrc
| NNTPSERVER=lugnet.com
| NNTPPORT=119
| export NNTPSERVER
| export NNTPPORT
| trn -x -X
| mv .newsrc .newsrc-lugnet
#| mv .newsrc-visi .newsrc
| ----------------------------end file rnl-------------------------------
You will need a script for each NNTP host, and you should make sure that
no other files (like the "kill file") contain information specific to one
host.
I have noticed that the "kill file" for one newsreader (can't remember
which) adresses groups by a number, rather than by name, and this could
cause some trouble.

Seems like I might be changing newsreader (again). :-(
Play well,
