Step one: use SSH. You don't want passwords bouncing around in the clear.
Step twp: use Netcat (nc). It works like telnet except that it is totally
clean and transparent.
Step three:
(setq gnus-select-method
'(nntp "news.gweep.net"
(nntp-address "sidehack.gweep.net")
(nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-rlogin)
(nntp-end-of-line "\n")
(nntp-rlogin-program "ssh")
(nntp-rlogin-parameters
("bin/nc" "news.gweep.net" "nntp"))))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods nil)
Where "bin/nc" is the path to the netcat executable on the news server.
