Hmm, are you sure the info in .authinfo is being sent to
eternal-september?

I had the same problem you mention recently (with
reader80.eternal-september.org, because port 119 is blocked at work),
and after several tries, this worked for me (the group list was
available without any special command):

in .gnus:

(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "reader80.eternal-september.org"
                                (nntp-port-number 80)))

in .authinfo:

machine reader80.eternal-september.org login xxxx password xxxx force yes

Reloading groups from server

[Paulo J. Matos]

Hi,

I have subscribed to eternal-september for nntp and I forgot to
configure authentication. So I found I didn't have all the groups from
eternal september, only the public ones.

After setting up the username and password in .authinfo and the force
authentication, gnus still only shows me the same public groups and not
new ones. How can I request gnus to force the fetch all groups from the
server? 

Cheers,
