Hi,

I felt a little bit misleaded by the current documentation
when trying 
to use the new module "mod_authn_dbd".

As far as I figured out, is the query configured with 
"AuthDBDUserRealmQuery" only used when
mod_authn_dbd acts as an 
"AuthDigestProvider" (AuthBasicProvider ->
AuthDBDUserPWQuery).

Additionally it should be mentioned that
"AuthDBDUserRealmQuery" has to 
return a MD5-hash of
"<user>:<realm>:<password>" and
not an "encrypted 
password". So linking to the new document
"Password Formats" would be nice.

thanks for your efforts,
.max

BTW:
> The query must take two string (typically SQL varchar)
arguments
> (username and realm), and return a single value
(encrypted password).

in the usage description of
"AuthDBDUserRealmQuery" and 
"AuthDBDUserPWQuery" seems to have a needless
comma before "and" ?!
