There is a "AuthUserFile" option in the config file. This I know because
it's there, and because it does ask for a password and that works as it
should. I thought by posting the server-info this would be better than
showing the config file lines, but server-info doesn't show the file,
perhaps because showing it is bad from a security point of view...?
