Whenever I try to access an nntp server that requires authentication, gnus hangs immediately after I enter the password. I searched the mailing list archives and foudn that other people have reported the same problem, but it didn't look like anyone had found a solution yet. Some people said that hitting C-g would let them read news, but when I try that, gnus just quits. I have (setq nntp-authinfo-function (function nntp-send-nosy-authinfo)) in my .gnus since the user names required by the nntp servers are not my local user name. I access two other nntp servers that do not require authentication without any problems. One of the two servers that require authentication allows me to temporarily allow unauthenticated nntp access from a specific IP address by accessing a web page first. When I do that, gnus can access that server without any problems. Therefore, the problem seems to be only with the authentication code in gnus. I have tried 5.4.64 and 5.4.65 with XEmacs 19.15. I also tried clearing out my .gnus and temporarily removing my .newsrc.eld. Then, I tried using GNU Emacs 19.34. Nothing seemed to make any difference.
