I am in the process of setting up my gnus.el file and need some
assistance setting up my nntp server. My ISP uses ssl authentication,
According to the manual I need to use the nntp-open-ssl-stream but am
at a loss as I can not get SSLay which is required.
nntp-open-ssl-stream
Opens a connection to a server over a secure channel. To use this
you must have SSLay installed (`ftp://ftp.psy.uq.oz.au/pub/Crypto/
SSL', and you also need `ssl.el' (from the W3 distributeion, for
instance). You then define a server as follows:
;; Type `C-c C-c' after you've finished editing.
;;
;; "snews" is port 563 and is predefined in our /etc/services
;;
(nntp "snews.bar.com"
(nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-ssl-stream)
(nntp-port-number "snews")
(nntp-address "snews.bar.com"))
Google has not really come up with a good source for SSLay, and the
provided site seems to be down.
Resolving ftp.psy.uq.oz.au... 130.102.32.1
Connecting to ftp.psy.uq.oz.au|130.102.32.1|:21... failed: Connection
refused
Just a little about my system I am using OpenSuse 11.0, with standard
emacs version which is 22.x something. I am using fetchmail to get my
mail from the mail servers which also require ssl authentication. I
would like to use emacs and a local spool to read mail, and of course
use gnus to read Usenet.
I have been using Google groups so far, but would like to use Gnus, as
my client of choice for reading news. I could use another source for
the nntp server such as gmane, or other source but I would prefer to
use my ISP if possible. I am open to any suggestions that would make
this happen.
