I'm trying to get Gnus connecting to my Leafnode server via SSH and
Netcat, thus far to no avail. I have the following as my select method:
'(nntp "news.elehack.net"
(nntp-address "news.elehack.net")
(nntp-port-number 119)
(nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-via-rlogin-and-netcat)
; (nntp-pre-command "testrun.sh")
(nntp-via-rlogin-command "ssh")
(nntp-via-user-name "michael")
(nntp-end-of-line "\n")
(nntp-via-address "border.elehack.net"))
Inserting a (message) call into the nntp-open-via-rlogin-and-netcat
function indicates that it is building a reasonable command line.
However, I can't get it to connect successfully. The "testrun.sh"
script is a script which echos its command line arguments to a log file
and then runs them; when I use it as a pre-command, it never logs
anything, so it seems like the connection function is never actually
starting a process.
What can I do to get this working? I've tried in both Gnus 5.13 in the
current emacs-snapshot Debian package, and No Gnus 0.4 in Emacs 24.1
(whatever is in Ubuntu 6.06's gnus package, it's what they have
installed at school).
Thanks,
- Michael

I tried a similar method and noticed right now that the value of
`nntp-port-number' should be a string, at least for
`nntp-open-via-rlogin-and-netcat'. Could you try this?
(nntp-port-number "119")
I need to review code, doc string, and info concerning this...

Providing the port number as a string makes it work. Thanks!

Removing it altogether should work as well: 119 is the default.

I seem to remember it generating "news" or "nntp" as the default, and
netcat doesn't understand service names.
