Patch: Fix user authentication + MKDB |

Please take a look at the following patch that fixes the
following:
1) MKDB: creates all parent directories in case they did
not exist.
2) MKDB: creates gnatsd.user_access instead of gnatsd.access
3) PASSWORD CHECKING: The password checking in the current CVS
directory is broken. It was not working as someone else also
recenlty noted on this list. The problems were: (a) it was using
the opposite logic of match(), (b) it did not default to plain
text passwords, (c) an empty database list was confusing it, and
(d) there was no fall-through. The last point needs a bit of
explanation:
Suppose I had a entry like so:
foo:test:edit:
*:*:view:
The desired behavior should be that in case a user fails the password
check for 'foo' then he should be allowed to have a 'view' access
as everybody else. The current code will default 'foo' with a bad
password to 'no_access'.
This should close BUG report number: 416
