Well, this was interesting.  I looked in the ding archive and
noticed the maintainer of w3 stating that ssl-program-arguments
shouldn't be modified.  Something about "s_client" no longer being
valid with OpenSSL.  Well, I'm not sure where that comes from
because it sure seems to be valid with openssl-0.9.6a.  I also
notice that imap.el uses this command to openssl.  So, I tried the
following alteration:

*** lisp/nntp.el.~1~  Mon Apr 30 16:39:59 2001
--- lisp/nntp.el  Tue May  8 18:09:11 2001
***************
*** 920,927 ****
    (open-network-stream "nntpd" buffer nntp-address nntp-port-number))
  
  (defun nntp-open-ssl-stream (buffer)
!   (let* ((ssl-program-arguments '("-connect" (concat host ":" service)))
!   (proc (open-ssl-stream "nntpd" buffer nntp-address nntp-port-number)))
      (save-excursion
        (set-buffer buffer)
        (nntp-wait-for-string "^\r*20[01]")
--- 920,927 ----

      (save-excursion

        (nntp-wait-for-string "^\r*20[01]")


Now I'm able to login to secnews.netscape.com:563 without any problems.
