It's not "don't set Auth-Type in the users file", it's "don't set it ANYWHERE". Almost all instances of people forcibly setting it are wrong. There *are* a few places where setting it is OK, but those are rare, and require carefully analyzing what you're doing. > This isn't really a problem (since it all works the way I want), but it > seems inconsistent, especially considering that other modules can modify > the request or check items.
