my news server reguires userid/password to connect.

if i use:

(setq gnus-select-method 
      '(nntp "news.xxxx.xxx"
;       (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-ssl-stream)
;       (nntp-port-number "563")
        (nntp-address "news.xxxx.xxx")
))

it reads news and for posts ... it says posting with nntp

(setq gnus-select-method 
      '(nntp "news.xxxx.xxx"
        (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-ssl-stream)
        (nntp-port-number "563")
        (nntp-address "news.xxxx.xxx")
))

if reads news fine ... but for posts ... it just hangs forever.

mozilla/thunderbird configured for ssl/563 reads news and posts just
fine.
