tis ok, got nognus : first test with only one logical name "me" :
works. 

e.g

> (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
> 	     '(nntp "me"
> 		    (nntp-address "news.eternal-september.org")))

and in .authinfo

> machine me login MYID force yes password MYPASS

is ok.

Add a second account e.g

> (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
> 	     '(nntp "me"
> 		    (nntp-address "news.eternal-september.org")))

> (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
>  	     '(nntp "me2"
>  		    (nntp-address "news.eternal-september.org")))

and in authinfo

> machine me login MYID force yes password MYPASS
> machine me2 login MYID2 force yes password MYPASS2

and it hangs on the second connection. I need to C-g. I'll try and post
the trivia log soon. Possibly its eternal-september but it used to
work. (I maintain work related and social accounts).
