[Xitami] Virtual Hosts Security Configuration Question

Still fighting the VHosts problem.
I have a number of VHs, of the general form :MyClassTeam01.ewu.edu
I have created separate .aut and .cfg files for each VH.

APPROACH 1
In the defaults.cfg file, I say this:
[Virtual-hosts]
MyClassTeam01.ewu.edu = "team01.cfg"

In team01.cfg, I say this:
[Security]
     Filename = "team01.aut"

in team01.aut, I say:
[/Setup]
     team01="password"

HOWEVER,
If you log in to MyClassTeam01.ewu.edu, Xitami ignores the security 
settings and just lets you in.

APPROACH 2
If, in defaults.cfg I say:
[Virtual-hosts]
MyClassTeam01.ewu.edu = "defaults.cfg"

[Security]
     Filename = "defaults.aut"

then in defaults.aut
[Team01]
     Team01= "password"

it works.

The trouble is, approach 1 is preferred because it puts user logs where the 
student teams can get to them.

Obviously a configuration problem.  I tried dropping the [Security] entry 
in defaults.cfg, but that didn't help.
Any idea how I can get approach 1 to work?

You understand ONE, so you think you understand TWO.
Because one and one are two.
But you must also understand AND
