[leafnode-list] fetchnews doesn't fetch news

[<frankh@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I installed leafnode and it seams to work, just that fetchnews doesn't
work. I activated the debug mode and the log file below shows that the
upstream server requires a password ("<381 PASS required") and within the
same second emits an Authentication error ("<502 Authentication error").

I would interpret it as an error of the upstream server to expect a
response within less than a second from a dialup connection, but with
Netscape I can access newsgroups.

Any idea, link, help? The fetchnews debug log follows.
