Well, the citadel/LoginType template has a line with a comma splice,
and while I'm fixing that I'd rephrase slightly too:

I would suggest:
Please choose the user authentication mode. By default Citadel will use its
own internal user accounts database. If you choose "Host", Citadel users
will have accounts on the host system, authenticated via /etc/passwd or a
PAM source. "LDAP" means an RFC 2307 compliant directory server; "Active
Directory" means the nonstandard Microsoft Active Directory LDAP scheme.
In the package description... well, it makes me wonder what an
"AJAX-style web interface" is if not actually an AJAX web interface,
but I don't see anything really worth the trouble of changing.

Do not change this option unless you are sure it is required, since
changing back requires a full reinstall of Citadel.
