i want to create some foreign group on that server, because my primary
server doesn't support a particular hierarchy

following instructions in info file i created a ~/.authinfo file,
following FAQ i put (add-hook 'nntp-server-opened-hook
'nntp-send-authinfo) in my ~/.gnus

i create the foreign group, but i cannot access it

if i "B" rowse the server, i can see a handful of groups that can be
freely accessed, but gnus apparently doesn't try to do the
authentication

what can i do next?
