(RADIATOR) AuthByPolicy and INFO messages

Hi!

I use a configuration like this:

AuthByPolicy ContinueWhileReject
<AuthBy SQL>
...
</AuthBy SQL>
<AuthBy FILE>
...
</AuthBy>

Nearly all of our users can be authenticated using SQL, but there are
3 special accounts in the FILE defined.  Not the problem is, that with
Trace 4, the INFO records always show 
 INFO: Access rejected for <some-user-name>: No such user
where users are defined in the SQL database, but they use wrong
passwords.  The problem is, that ContinueWhileReject implies, that
radiator sees the wrong password and looks for the user in the FILE,
where he doesn't exist, which results in "No such user".

But what can I do to get a "Wrong Password", when the password is
wrong via SQL authentication and to check the <AuthBy FILE> only when
the user does not exist in the SQL database?

I don't think that it's a good idea to change the order of the two
AuthBy sessions, because nearly all users can be authenticated via
SQL, so the FILE part should only be asked, when the user is not found
in SQL for performance reasons.

Tschoeeee
