When we changed to require SSL and authentication, I changed my
pertinent .gnus.el like this:

(add-hook 'nntp-server-opened-hook 'nntp-send-authinfo)

(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "nntp.msu.edu"
      (nntp-open-connection-function
       nntp-open-ssl-stream)
      (nntp-port-number "nntps")
      (nntp-address "nntp.msu.edu")))


Best of luck,

./muk
