  PLEASE don't do that.  It's not necessary at all.  The dictionaries
SHOULD NOT be edited, unless you know EXACTLY what you're doing.

  That entry should start off with a user name:

test	Auth-Type := Digest, User-Password := "test"
            Reply-Message = "Hello, test with Digest"

  That WILL NOT WORK.  The user name is used to create the hash in
Digest-Response.  Changing the user name means that the test vector
will be wrong, and the test will fail.

  It's probably a side-effect of having no user name in the entry in
the "users" file.
