Hi again,

Figured it out.  I had to set up stunnel as a daemon.

Under root I do the following:

# stunnel -c -d 5432 -r secnews.netscape.com:563

Now under my own account I add the following to ~/.tin/newsrctable

127.0.0.1    .newsrc_ns    ntetscape ns

I run tin as follows:

$ tin -ra -p 5432 -g ns

Bingo!  I can now access the secure NNTP server.

Later,
Steven
