If AUTH_USER_FILE_STORABLE = true, Pear::File_Passwd is used to update
the password file. As seen below.

There's no config variable (yet) to allow self-creating users for
password files. Self-creating users should IMHO use PersonalPage settings.

Oops. I'll have to check these.
Maybe $_filename is empty, which would lead to the error below.

That's the first critical error. The apache account has no rights to
write to this file.
