Subject: New authinfo setup

Group,
Nice job on the 0.29 info section covering the new authinfo stuff.
Good examples too.
Still having a problem opening sunsite.auc.dk though
I have the emacs.ding group like so in group buffer:
nntp+sunsite.auc.dk:emacs.ding (as a foreign group)
When ever I start qgnus 0.29 (before making an .authinforc file)
I am prompted for my main nntp server user name and password and also
for a user name and password for "sunsite.auc.dk".
The prompt looks like:
NNTP (sunsite.auc.dk) user name:
NNTP (sunsite.auc.dk) password:
If I hit <RET> and <RET> repectively, gnus gets the emacs.ding postings.
So apparently defaults are all thats needed.
Now since I made an .authinforc file that looks like;
machine enews.newsguy.com login reader password xxxxxxxx
machine sunsite.auc.dk login <don't know> password <don't know>
Every thing I could think of to put in the second line for login and
password (including login anonymous password reader@newsguy.com)
Draws a "502 authentication error"
If I leave the line out, I am back to hitting <RET> at the prompts for
nntp+sunsite.auc.dk.
