[ssh] More laptop to main config

[ssh] More laptop to main config

[Harry Putnam]

Currently using slrnpull to get a small newsfeed on disk.

Now, I'mm leaving town for a couple days and want to access the
slrnpull directory via ssh from my laptop.

The current setup on parent machine is nnspool and looks like:

( This will be the setup on $REMOTE)
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnspool "local.newsguy"
        (nnspool-spool-directory "/var/spool/slrnpull/news/")
        (nnspool-nov-directory "/var/spool/slrnpull/news/")
        (nnspool-active-file "/var/spool/slrnpull/data/active")))

Laptop will be $LOCAL

What will I have to do to make $LOCAL connect to
 $REMOTE:/var/spool/slrnpull/news/, in the same sort of way but
 through a ssh tunnel?

Will it still be nnspool style, but with special added code?

I'm guessing that nnspool really really REALLY wants to read files, so
you might have to use a remote file system.  There is NFS, of course,
and then there is this shiny thingy where I forgot the name which
allows non-root users to mount directories.  It wasn't Coda, though
that also exist and might be quite nifty.

This is all outside of Gnus, of course.

Or maybe you could tell Gnus to use ange-ftp to fetch the directory in
question?  That might work.  Just enter the right directory name.
