Just to avoid you people ignoring the man because he posted a question
twice (with the second version even lacking `Thanks'), this is something
I've been trying to get to work too.

My problem with readers.conf is that I can't find out how to respond with
a `411 Authentication required' by default.

I guess that this needs to be different:

access "none" {
	newsgroups: "!*"
	users: "<no-user>"
}

However, I can't see how to tell nnrpd not to immediately quit with `No
access' or respond `No such group' until a valid name+password has been
given but said 411 instead, as everything up until 2.2 would.

The examples are pretty abstract as well...

TIA,
