I have been trying to connect to the news server at my previous place
of employment by using ssh to go through my account there, but I can't
get it to work. Here is the setting I am using:
(setq gnus-select-method
'(nntp "news.ps.uni-sb.de"
(nntp-address "news.ps.uni-sb.de")
(nntp-via-rlogin-command "ssh")
(nntp-via-rlogin-command-switches nil)
(nntp-via-user-name "duchier")
(nntp-via-address "elk.ps.uni-sb.de")
(nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-via-rlogin-and-telnet)))
when opening the connection, it seems to block in nntp-wait-for-string
when executing accept-process-output. If I execute:
ssh -l duchier elk.ps.uni-sb.de telnet -8
interactively at the shell, then I can successfully give it further
commands to interact with the nntp server. However:
ssh -l duchier elk.ps.uni-sb.de telnet -8 < FOO
where FOO contains the same commands, only _seems_ to execute the 1st
one, namely the open and then closes the connection.
I just don't get it! what am I doing wrong?
Cheers,
PS:
BTW, the nntp-first wait-for-string should probably be:
(nntp-wait-for-string "^\r?telnet")
instead:
(nntp-wait-for-string "^r?telnet")

Could you try to add the fllowing parameter?
(nntp-end-of-line "\n")
And, please also try this:
(nntp-via-rlogin-command-switches ("-t"))

"^r?telnet" is for both telnet and rtelnet (rtelnet is a
socksified version of telnet).

Somehow, my reply did not seem to make it to the list (ah, yes:
previous msg was only cc'ed to ding). The above did it! thanks.
Somehow I tested it interactively, but I got an error so I did not put
it in the switches at first. I must have screwed up in the testing
conditions.
Btw, this maybe off topic but can anyone explain to me why -t makes a
difference?
