Patch: Fix user authentication + MKDB

[Pankaj K Garg]

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
