I am currently using gnus version 3.13.  The problem that I run into
is that I can't post from inside of gnus properly.

When I first start up emacs, don't M-x gnus, I can M-x postnews and my
post gets fired off no problem and is posted.  Checking with lastcomm
I can see that it properly calls the inews program.

Then when I M-x gnus, if no matter how I try and post a, f, F, my
posting fails.  I get back an error regarding authentication.  I check
and it hasn't properly called inews.  I have tried setting either or
both news-inews-program and nnspool-inews-program to point to the
proper inews program with no luck.  Any suggestions?  Is there some
variable that I am not setting or setting improperly to be able to
post from inside of GNUS.  I have spent quite a bit of time on this
problem and asked other hard-core emacs users but haven't had any luck
in figuring out what's going on.
