Did I understand you correctly? After discovering documentstion and
reading this mailing list I gueas that you meas something like this:

For 2nd category I'm using entries in 'users' file something about:

internal    Auth-type := Local,

            ...

For 3rd category I'm usin traditional entries like:

user1       Auth-Type := Local, User-Password == 'blabla', 
            ...

Am I right?
