According to the asker of [this question](http://serverfault.com/questions/300646/mod-auth-mysql-dont-validate) (see the last couple of comments), he doesn't have enough rep to answer his own question.  However, I can't see any mention of a rep threshold for self-answering in [the FAQ](http://serverfault.com/faq#reputation).  Am I missing something in the FAQ, is the FAQ missing something, or is the questioner just fundamentally confused?
