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

I don't think passwords for authentication of the middle link is
possible. The middle link must be authenticated in other ways.
