Yuck.  Ugly.  Try adding

auth "anon" {
        hosts: "*"
        key: users
        default: "<anonymous>"
}

to the config I posted before.  I think that works.

Right, try the above.

Ah, that affects the Sender: header in outgoing posts.  It has nothing to
do with authorization of newsreaders.
