Ok, that sounds right.

The replies would be more interesting to see...

Nah, it just says "Hello I'm INN, and you can't post yet", probably
either because MODE READER hasn't been issued yet, or because you
haven't authenticated yet at this point.

What does ngrep show the server returning after the second LIST command
is issued by Gnus? If it returns an empty list, that is why Gnus doesn't
show any groups.

("ngrep -Wbyline port nntp" can be a useful set of command line options
to use.)
