[Xitami] Next question: edit .aut file

[Toni McConnel]

Hi, Johannes...
Yes, I did create both the cfg and the aut files.  I realized that I 
need both even though you didn't mention the aut file specifically.  
I've been going through this over and over this morning and just can't 
find anything wrong, the username/password window DOES come up but it 
just doesn't accept the ID and password I set up, whether I use admin 
and verysecret from the faq, or my own.  I feel sure the two files need 
to go in same directory as xitami.cfg, right? I am wondering if 
something is missing in the installation of Xitami, any other things I 
might need on my system.  When I received this message from you I was 
reading through documentation but haven't come across anything yet.  It 
appears I only need to decompress the zip file and put the folder on my 
c: drive.  It doesn't appear to install anything in registry, is that 
right?  Have been wondering about that.

I appreciate your help.
