[Xastir] User verification

[David A Aitcheson]

Alan,

What Larry says he saw is what he saw.  There is still one pesky reference to 
the 'old' style of user authentication buried in the initial/first_time use 
script.  Larry is not alone, others occasionally ask the same question.  If 
it is not in the files on the primary server then it is in an older version 
that is on a mirror that has not updated recently.

I did notice at one point that there was a lack of continuity between the 
online (web page) FAQ and the downloaded (installed) FAQ.  Lacking a system 
that well run a higher version of linux and lacking a DSL connection prevents 
me from being more up to date on things.
