>Description:
1) The docs refer to both "Anonymous_NoUser" and "Anonymous_NoUserID".
The second is correct.

2) The docs do not mention that a password file must be specified with
AuthUserFile. The example doesn't mention this at all. A zero-length
file
works just fine.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply, but it did not seem to have any urgency.

Could you send me (part of) the access.conf you are using, and the
modules.c file; because I have a feeling you should get things to work
without that file; especially if you make the anonymous module
authorative; so it does not pass control to modules like the
normal mod_auth.c which wants that file.

Dw.
