  Did just that, d/l the RPM and installed OK.

   When opening Pan, I defined the news server (triple checked that info 
correct - same as Pan under SuSE), but I keep getting the same NoGo result.     
     
From the Event Log:

   (1) "Pan started"
   (2) "Error opening file /home/maurice/.pan2/newsgroups.ynm" - 
          No such file or directory"
   (3) "Error: 502 Authentication error"

As I have no newsgroup list I tried to get Pan to d/l it from the server by 
selecting 'Refresh NewsGroups' (could see no other option to get the 
initialising list).

Seems 2 problems: Missing file, can't access server. Connected?

Help....
