* config.inc.php3: removed unnecessary settings (stdpass is no long
required and there is no need to use both stduser/user).

file.

Advanced authentication is secure as the standard user needs just
read-only-access to the mysql database.

All you have to provide in config.inc is a standard user which can
connect to MySQL and read the mysql user/db table

you could get some errors, depending on the exact privileges you gave
