Hi,

I'm trying to use ssh with nntp-open-rlogin in the gnus-select-method
(instead of setting up a tunnel by starting ssh manually, as I'm
currently doing it):

   (setq gnus-select-method
         '(nntp "newsserver"
                (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-rlogin)
                (nntp-address "intermediate-host")
                (nntp-rlogin-program "ssh")
                (nntp-end-of-line "\n")
                (nntp-rlogin-parameters
                 ("-x" "telnet" "newsserver" "nntp"))))

When I start gnus with this select method, it hangs while trying to
fetch the list of newsgroups from the server.  However, when I start
gnus with gnus-no-server and then use `j' in the Group buffer
everything works as it should.

I know that the connection works.  I know that the select method is
ok, otherwise gnus-group-jump-to-group wouldn't work, right?  I seem
to remember that I once had it working with an older version of Gnus,
and it seems to work for other people, too.  Any ideas what the
problem could be?

Thanks in advance
