[pmwiki-users] need help with AuthUser password syntax in config.php

Could someone please give me the correct syntax for AuthUser 
passwords? The docs "claim" to explain them, but they are obviously 
not idiot-proof, because they don't work for me. I will add this info 
to the AuthUser page once I get it. What it says now:


>AuthUser also makes it possible to group login accounts together 
>into authorization groups, indicated by a leading "@" sign. As with 
>login accounts, group memberships are maintained by editing the 
>Site.AuthUser file. Group memberships can be specified by either 
>listing the groups for a login account (person belongs to groups) or 
>the login accounts for a group (group includes people). You can 
>repeat or mix-and-match the two kinds as desired:
>
>
>     @writers: alice, bob
>     carol: @writers, @editors
>     @admins: alice, dave
>Then, to restrict page access to a particular group, simply use 
>"@group" as the "password" in ?action=attr or the $DefaultPasswords 
>array, similar to the way that "id:username" is used to restrict 
>access to specific login accounts.

In config.php, which of these work?????

$DefaultPasswords['admin'] = 'id:NeilHerber';
$DefaultPasswords['admin'] = 'id:@admins';
$DefaultPasswords['admin'] = '@admins';

How do I allow multiples?????

$DefaultPasswords['admin'] = 'id:NeilHerber,FredSmith';
$DefaultPasswords['admin'] = 'id:@admins,FredSmith';
$DefaultPasswords['admin'] = '@admins,FredSmith';
