Note: this was more about what gnus-sync does, when confronted with a
401 Authorization Required
Ie. does it request a username/password from the user? And does it
persist the username/password combination?

I know.
I tried to do that, based on the hints in the debian couchdb config
files: in the /etc/couchdb/local.ini file uncommented the [admins]
section and added a username = password line, and then restarted
couchdb.

Did that one as well, with the URL, tzzadmin, mypassword, and mysalt
appropriately modified.

That's why I didn't do it more than once.

Got two entries here. One is the one created by the
gnus-sync-lesync-setup function, and the other one is called
_design/auth.

I have:
Admins
Names: ["myadmin"]
Roles: []
Readers
Names: ["myadmin"]
Roles: []

It could be that my real admin created in the /etc/couchdb/local.ini
file hasn't been picked up by couchdb...?
