It doesnt even get that far in the code. It immediately returns, thus allowing
ordinary UN*X passwords. So this works around the scheme you scetch here.

Btw: I am not completely done with this commit as I want to put skey.access
in teh examples directory. But since we had one there already and that one 
moved to the Attic, cvs add complains. I don't know how to resurrect the
old version. Can anyone help me with that?
