I'm running very successfully with 2ed AUTH and FS.  CPUs are somewhat
confused, and I can't quite get the 2ed AUTH to execute the mail stuff
on a 3ed CPU :-(

On the other hand, I'm not sure how a 2ed FS would handle 3ed AUTH,
which may be your problem.  Between a rock and a hard place, like me.
It may of course be merely a question of making sure AUTH and FS are
in the right type of sync, which presumably means the same password
for the FS and the AUTH uid.

I'll enable AUTH on the 3ed CPU server a little later, see what
confusion I can create.  In the meantime...
