OK, I see what I did wrong.

When I created the userfile, and uncommented the "[users]" section tag, so
it wasn't seeing the password-db line in the right section. Quite
confusing.

The way the default conf file looks, though, it sure implied (at least to
me) that you could put the user=password tags right in there. I would
never do that for production, but...

Thanks, Peter.
