Yeah, it's mentioned implicitly with the aaa changes in CHANGES (almost every directive for our core aaa modules changed in subtle ways due to this rewrite). That directive wasn't updated with the rest of the docs. It just slipped through - it happens.

The mod_authn_file docs says that it can be used with mod_auth_digest and mod_auth_basic. The only catch is that the file format implicitly changes based on the front-end. IMHO, that needs to be explained pretty clearly in the mod_authn_file/mod_authn_dbm docs.

If someone could do that, I'd appreciated it. I want to switch to using it, so I can stay on HEAD, but right now all of my DAV stuff is disabled because I can't figure out how to enable auth, though your last email offers a clue.

These little things probably reinforce my idea that the aaa changes shouldn't be on the 2.0 branch until it gets more developer and user feedback. -- justin

I agree with that. This is a bit undercoooked for 2.0. Additionally, once we ship a table .x release, we should really avoid changes which break existing configurations until the next .y release, IMO.
