The authentication for a directory doesn�t work like in version 1.3.4. The error-log
contains this message:
[Fri Mar 26 12:38:53 1999] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] user Schulze: authentication failure for "/Buch/index.html": crypt() unavailable on Win32, cannot validate password

For version 1.3.4 the password must be in plain text in the user-file. What shall I do now?
