  <para>
   This method causes its connection to be authenticated.  If authentication is 
   enabled for the database server (it's not, by default), you need to log in 
   before the database will allow you to do anything.
  </para>
  <para>
   This method is identical to running:
   <programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php

$salted = "${username}:mongo:${password}";
$hash = md5($salted);

$nonce = $db->command(array("getnonce" => 1));

$saltedHash = md5($nonce["nonce"]."${username}${hash}");

$result = $db->command(array("authenticate" => 1, 
    "user" => $username,
    "nonce" => $nonce["nonce"],
    "key" => $saltedHash);

?>
]]>
   </programlisting>
  </para>
  <para>
   Once a connection has been authenticated, it can only be un-authenticated by 
   using the "logout" database command:
   <programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php

$db->command(array("logout" => 1));

?>
]]>
   </programlisting>
  </para>

     <listitem>

  <para>
   Returns database response.  If the login was successful, it will return
  <programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
array("ok" => 1)
]]>
  </programlisting>
  If something went wrong, it will return
  <programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
array("ok" => 0, "errmsg" => "auth fails")
]]>
  </programlisting>
  ("auth fails" could be another message, depending on database version and what
  when wrong).
