Subject: How to debug nntp-open-via-rlogin-and-telnet?

[Both the current host, and the via host, are intel architecture
 machines, running debian sarge testing/unstable]

I'm trying to make nntp-open-via-rlogin-and-telnet work.  Doing the
commands manually from a shell works.  Gnus is stuck in startup, until
I press `C-g'.

Is there a a good way to debug this?

My default select method looks like this:

(setq gnus-select-method
      '(nntp "news"
	     (nntp-address "news.chello.no")
	     (nntp-end-of-line "\n")
	     (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-via-rlogin-and-telnet)
	     (nntp-via-address "somehost.dyndns.org")
	     (nntp-via-rlogin-command "ssh")
	     (nntp-via-rlogin-command-switches ("-x" "-C" "-t" "-e" "none"))))

When I start up Gnus (CVS with update done today), on GNU Emacs
21.3.1, Gnus is stuck until I press `C-g'.  

I see a process like this on the local machine:
   sb       20474  0.0  0.1  3644 1896 pts/6    S    21:47   0:00 /usr/bin/ssh -x -C -t -e none somehost.dyndns.org telnet -8

On the remote machine (ie. somehost.dyndns.org), I see a process like
this: 
   sb       28764  0.2  0.9  2852 1240 pts/5    S    22:16   0:00 telnet -8

The " *nntpd*" buffer contains the text:
211 5904 504 9292 gmane.text.docbook.apps

There's also an " *server news.chello.no nntp  *nntpd**" buffer, which
is empty.

Why are there two buffers?  Should they be empty?  The " *server..."
buffers for the other two nntp servers in my Gnus are also empty.

Thanx!
