In http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/9 it is stated that 
auth.login_bare returns None if the username/password pair is invalid. 
auth.login_bare actually returns False, not None. 
I guess most people do:

user = auth.login_bare(u, p)
if not user:
    raise HTTP(403, "Authorization Failed.")

but if one does (as I did), 

if user is None:

then the difference is noticeable.  I am posting this so that the error is 
documented.
