I already set up one, in a way that I need to enter it on the
first startup of Gnus in this boot.

However I think it's better to be able to bypass the checking of
existence of a server, or at least, bypass the default .authinfo
file when a (nntp-authinfo-file) is specified.  I would assume
this parameter tells Gnus to find its authinfo in that file, and
skipping default files.  I set that to "/dev/null", but useless.
