I want to use multiple news servers, some of which require user/pass 
authentication.  Ideally, I'd like Gnus to automatically log me in
(or prompt) for the servers that require authentication, and just 
jump right in on the ones that don't.

>>From reading nntp.el (5.4.53), it _appears_ that I should just be
able to put nntp-send-nosy-authinfo into nntp-authinfo-function.  
However, this does not appear to work.  When connecting, Gnus prompts
for the name/password, then proceeds to hang.

Putting nntp-send-nosy-authinfo into nntp-server-opened-hook works,
but then some of the servers that do not require authentication seem
to get confused when Gnus sends the blank AUTHINFO USER and AUTHINFO PASS
commands.

Any ideas from the Gnus gurus?

Thanks,
