  I wouldn't go that far.  The "files" module returned "noop".  This
means that the user wasn't found in the "users" file.

  Are you editing the file that the server is reading?

  Check this file.  Is it the one you're editing?

  There's really no magic here.  The server reads this file.  It either
(a) reads all of it, along with "include" lines.  Or (b), it gets a
parse error, and doesn't read it.
