Keep in mind that most clients are prepared to handle a 480
authentication required message (which they will get if all of
your auth blocks have an auth line and no res line) by prompting
the user for appropriate information.  You probably want to save
reject_with for when you want to permanently deny someone for
some reason.

Ah ha, here's your problem.  If all of the password databases
apply to all IP addresses, you need to put them all in a single
auth block.  (You can have multiple lines in an auth block.)

Note that you probably don't want to be using the key: parameter.
