The point, however, is that I want to create the tunnel once, when I
boot, and not have to think about it again until I boot again.  I read
a few groups directly via this ssh/nntp tunnel, and the same tunnel is
also used for a suck(1) feed into my regular news server, which is run
3x/hour.

Strikes me as a pointless exercise in process creation.  I prefer
starting one sleep(1) and walking away from the problem.
