Thought you wouldn't notice :-)

Sorry for misunderstanding. Fixed. See the new patch below and on
the branch.

Subject: [PATCH] auth: fix empty password authentication

We are supposed to authenticate guest user without a password. This
used to work before commit 076a842011e0 ("Permit empty passwords in
net.box"), when guest didn't have any password. Now it has an empty
password and the check in authenticate turns out to be broken, which
breaks assumptions made by certain connectors. This patch fixes the
check.

Closes #4327
