Johannes, I appreciate your hanging in there with me on this, but as I
said in last message, I don't see how the files can be wrong when I cut
and pasted from FAQ and have checked and rechecked innumerable times.
But because you asked for it, here they are (I have substituted the
sample ID and password from the FAQ for my own):

The defaults.aut file:
[/Admin]
   admin=verysecret

The defaults.cfg file:
[Security]
    filename=defaults.aut
