   What I would like to know is if the nntp service provides all
   access to data needed to read/post News, so that the NFS
   mount would not be needed.  It may be that I have misunderstood
   the installation of GNUS or it actually needs both.  If nntp
   can provide all the data needed, are there News readers like
   rn that can make use of this?

GNUS and Gnews and others, as well as a patched version of rn (the
patches come with the nntp distribution) can/do work solely through
nntp...
