ssh -C -t -e none carroll@stdsun.cse.ohio-state.edu telnet -8 news.cis.ohio-state.edu nntp
connects me to the NNTP server and I can go on to type "mode reader"
at it, "group <whatever>", etc. to look at articles in newsgroups
without having to type a password. I'm using authentication based on
authorized asymmetric keys loaded into ssh-agent.
However, if I try Gnus v5.10.7 under Debian GNU/Linux, in an emacs
started from the same console I did the above ssh from, I can't
connect to the server. It asks things like,
Unable to open nntp:osu-cse, go offline?
and the *Messages* buffer says things like,
Opening nntp server on osu-cse...
Denied server
Opening nntp server on osu-cse...failed
Opening nntp server on osu-cse...
Denied server
Opening nntp server on osu-cse...failed
The total of my .gnus.el is:
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "osu-cse"
(nntp-address "news.cis.ohio-state.edu")
(nntp-via-user-name "carroll")
(nntp-via-address "stdsun.cse.ohio-state.edu")
(nntp-via-rlogin-command "ssh")
(nntp-end-of-line "\n")
(nntp-via-rlogin-command-switches '("-C" "-t" "-e" "none"))
(nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-via-rlogin-and-telnet)))
(setq user-mail-address "mark@ixod.org")
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? What might I be doing wrong?

Solved it! That quote shouldn't be there. The 6.2.1.2 Indirect
Functions section of the Gnus Manual had quotes around the string that
confused me. (-:

Well, the quotes are printed around almost all literal examples, see
(info "(texinfo)samp").
But maybe we should add an example with ssh to (info "(gnus)Example
Methods")?

Here's an example for an indirect connection:
@lisp
(setq gnus-select-method
'(nntp "indirect"
(nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-via-rlogin-and-telnet)
(nntp-via-address "intermediate.host.example")
(nntp-address "the.real.nntp.host")
(nntp-via-rlogin-command "ssh")
(nntp-via-rlogin-command-switches ("-C" "-t" "-e" "none"))
(nntp-end-of-line "\n")))
@end lisp
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Bye, Reiner.
