Question #78059 on slrn in ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/slrn/+question/78059

andrew.46 posted a new comment:
Mind you the file /etc/news/slrn.rc is normally reserved for system
settings for slrn while the user is expected to create their own
$HOME/.slrnrc file with individual settings. This must be done manually
as a default Ubuntu installation does not create the file. There are
several ways to do this. It can be created from the slrn website itself:

wget http://slrn.sourceforge.net/downloads/slrn.rc -O $HOME/.slrnrc

This file is a slightly improved version from that found in the Ubuntu
installation BTW. The file can also be created from the 'examples'
directory of slrn as follows:

zcat /usr/share/doc/slrn/examples/slrn.rc.gz > $HOME/.slrnrc

The file must then be customised before it is usable. You may be
interested to see these details + a full installation guide on the
Ubuntu Community pages:

slrn - Community Ubuntu Documentation
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/slrn

which I have just finished writing :-).
