Yup, Got it thanks.
Interestingly it was actually because I hadn't declared (cut and paste failure -oops) the beginning of the authentication section. So the retry section over ran into the authenticators and the config parser was mighty confused as the retry section was now utter rubbish. I have submitted a source patch to the dev list suggesting a change in error message which would at least give a better clue than I had yesterday. Dean: once again many thanks for taking the trouble to look at the source and pointing me in the right direction.
