Maybe Gnus is prompting for a username because that server doesn't allow
posting?

    $ telnet news.grc.com nntp
    Trying 4.79.142.203...
    Connected to news.grc.com.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    200 news.grc.com InterNetNews NNRP server INN 2.6.3 ready (no posting)
    MODE READER
    200 news.grc.com InterNetNews NNRP server INN 2.6.3 ready (no posting)
    GROUP grc.test
    211 114 128140 128270 grc.test
    POST
    480 Posting not allowed

Maybe Gnus tries to auth because that might open up for posting? (Just
guessing!)


  Best regards,

    Adam
