Seems like authentication:none has no effect - it still tries NNTP Auth. And Fails.

Line 622 in nntpserver uses is_null($this->_authuser) to decide if it should authenticate...
but netnews has authuser as an empty strung. Not the same :(

I've patched _netnews_get_nntp_server() to use true NULL if it's blank

netnews.module 2005/09/09

Line 1646
'nntp_user' => ($linkrec['authuser'])?$linkrec['authuser']:NULL,

... and I can now connect OK!

Hmm, yes, all I had during development were nntp servers that required authentication. Thanks, I include it in the upcoming release.
