The passfile keyword is there to indicate the DESIRE for protection.
If you use the passfile keyword in the config.tel, there is no way
that anyone can get in without a name and password.  So, if the file
is not there, or you use "" for the passfile name, no one can get in.

BTW, telpass is indeed a hack - but you should only have to put up with it
every once in a while.

Also, the system folder passfile was added in 2.3 and the old method
remains for backward compatibility.
