[Patch] provide useful error entry if AuthType is missing
Hi,
if a user tries to use authentication and forgets to set AuthType
he will the following error:
configuration error: couldn't check user. No user file?
The appended patch provides a correct error message if the
authentication failure was due to a missing AuthType directive.
BTW, is there a reason why "Basic" isn't the default AuthType
value?
ciao...

+1, I like making error messages more meaningful.
No opinion on default AuthType ...
