I am doing something like:

(nntp "news5.newsfeeds.com"
      (nntp-address "firewall")
      (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-rlogin)
      (nntp-end-of-line "\n")
      (nntp-rlogin-program "/home/aes/scripts/ssh-tunnel.pl")
      (nntp-rlogin-parameters
       ("80" "news5.newsfeeds.com" "119")))

to issue something like:
   /home/aes/scripts/ssh-tunnel.pl firewall 80 news5.newsfeeds.com 119

ssh-tunnel uses the proxy command CONNECT (used by https) to connect
to news5.newsfeeds.com, and then leave the command to gnus.. 

It works fine, except that it asks for the user/pass for "firewall",
not "news5.newsfeeds.com", making it troublesome connecting to other
newsservers needing authentification..

Has this been up for discussion?

p.s. Works excelently for hosts not needing user/pass
