This is exactly what I mean. Why the user has to put --enable-auth to
./configure if it is easier for us to have auth _support_ in server.
And the binary file won't be much bigger:

[mateusz@localhost userdb]$ strip -s *.o
[mateusz@localhost userdb]$ ls -l *.o
-rw-r--r--  1 mateusz mateusz 1120 sie 31 10:26 lockfile.o
-rw-r--r--  1 mateusz mateusz 1396 sie 31 10:26 user_db.o
[mateusz@localhost userdb]$
