Date: Sun, 08 Jan 2017 19:17:43 +0100

Hello,

I tried to use the auth-source-user-and-password function with the user
argument, but it always returns a list of nil. Looking at the code I see
that the argument is not used in the auth-source-search but that a fixed
string "yourusername" is used.

With this patch I obtain the correct behavior.

Thank you for your attention,
Best regards,
Oscar
