Subject: "password" is not a valid password to auth-source.el
Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2012 21:32:34 -0500

I have the following in my ~/.authinfo:

machine 172.16.56.146 login Administrator password password port smb

The auth-source parser can't handle a password which is password.  I fixed
this rather stupidly with:

                   ((and (member elem tokens) (null pair))

In `auth-source-netrc-parse'.  But really the parser should be made a bit more
intelligent.  It's very hard code to read at the moment.

Could you send a patch?

Yes, it could be clearer.

I've now added that code to the place I thought was most likely.
