[leafnode-list] leafnode 2.0.0.alpha20090908a.luascript not authenticating?

[Klaus Maria Pfeiffer <kmp+leafnode-list@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi!

normally, if a NNTP server has enabled authentication, I would await the 
following behavior:
;===
klaus@quad:~$ telnet news.individual.net 119
Trying 130.133.4.11...
Connected to news.individual.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
200 The server welcomes h062040143131.swe.cm.kabsi.at (62.40.143.131). 
Authorization required for reading and posting.
GROUP at.telekomm.mobil
480 Authentication required.
QUIT
205 .
Connection closed by foreign host.
;===

but if i connect to my local leafnode with version 
2.0.0.alpha20090908a.luascript and patch applied that it compiles with 
gcc-4.4.4 i get the following:
;===
klaus@quad:~$ telnet news 119
Trying 2001:15c0:662f::121...
Connected to ve121.kmp.or.at.
Escape character is '^]'.
200 Leafnode NNTP daemon, version 2.0.0.alpha20090908a.luascript at

211 904 15094 16068 at.telekomm.mobil group selected
QUIT
205 Always happy to serve!
Connection closed by foreign host.
;===

thats not what I await.

have also a look into /var/log/syslog:

;===

you see, that I've enabled internal authentication and leafnode is also 
reading /etc/leafnode/users file with two users in (klaus and thomas).

whats going wrong here? I see the same behavior on the leafnode version in 
debian experimental (2.0.0.alpha20090406a-1).

can anyone help? thanks in advance!

gre3tings from Austria, Klaus
