Since no easily-found repository existed for xpn:
$ yum --noplugins --showduplicates --enablerepo \* --disablerepo c6-media,\*-source,\*debug\* provides "*/xpn"
REPORTS: No Matches found
I downloaded version 1.2.6 from:
http://xpn.altervista.org/codice/xpn-1.2.6.tar.gz
As suggested, I simply extracted and executed "xpny.py" to start xpn,
and the setup was as easy as I would have expected an NNTP setup to be.
I simply set up the minimum user & server information:
http://www2.picturepush.com/photo/a/12853990/img/12853990.png
Fetched the list of available groups for that server:
http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/12853992/img/12853992.png
And, then posted to the alt.test newsgroup:

Unlike Thunderbird & Knode (which were nntp-horrid for different reasons)
it was that easy (as it should be) on xpn to post using port 553 SSL native!
Thanks!
SUMMARY:
Linux native SSL NNTP clients:
a) xpn (worked on the first pass after a simple and intuitive NNTP setup)!
b) Knode (problematic - didn't work on first pass & provided no error messages)
c) Thunderbird (problematic - setup was not intuitive and didn't work for me)
d) Pan 0.136 (problematic - requires compilation - which often fails for me)
