This is probably a simple question but I am a bit confused about how to even find the answer.
I am using FreeBSD 9.2-STABLE. I just need to set an environment variable called NNTPSERVER to the name of my ISP server. Suppose the server is called "news.someisp.com" I do not know what file to edit or exactly what form the entry should take.
I can see files in my home directory for shell configuration: .cshrc and .shrc.
I read that the shell the system uses is sh, but then I also read the shell is actually tcsh. I do not even know what the shell is that I am using. I have made no changes to the default setup. Can anyone tell me what the installed shell is and how to set the environment variable?
