Perhaps, then, the problem is the (old) stuff in .newsrc.eld:

(setq gnus-newsrc-alist '(("nntp+news.cs.illinois.edu:cs.announce" 3 ((1
. 904)) nil "nntp:news.cs.illinois.edu";)
("nntp+news.cs.illinois.edu:cs.general" 3 ((1 . 5237)) nil
"nntp:news.cs.illinois.edu";) ("nntp+news.cs.illinois.edu:cs.grad.announce" 3
((1 . 268)) nil "nntp:news.cs.illinois.edu";)
("nntp+news.cs.illinois.edu:cs.undergrad.announce" 3 ((1 . 327)) nil
"nntp:news.cs.illinois.edu";) ("nntp+news.cs.illinois.edu:cs.undergrad.general"
3 ((1 . 2547)) nil "nntp:news.cs.illinois.edu";)
("nntp+news.cs.illinois.edu:research.area.theory" 3 ((1 . 33)) nil
"nntp:news.cs.illinois.edu";)


The Illinois server recently changed to one requiring a secure connection; is
that "nntp" part now wrong?
