A DEFAULT user is a user without an special Username entry

Yes, of course, all items in the first line of a entry are check-items,
all following lines are reply items.
Do this in the following way:
special-one Password = mysecret-one
special-one-reply-item-1 = 1,
special-one-reply-item-2 = 2,
special-one-reply-item-3 = 3,
special-one-reply-item-4 = 4
special-two Password = mysecret-two
special-two-reply-item-1 = 1,
special-two-reply-item-2 = 2,
special-two-reply-item-3 = 3
DEFAULT Auth-Type = System
default-reply-item-1 =1,
default-reply-item-2 =2,
default-reply-item-3 =3,
default-reply-item-4 =4,
default-reply-item-5 =5
This means, User with names special-one and special-two
get differently handled as all other users. And because
you have perhaps a lot of other users, you will not list
all usernames and passwords in the users-file, you use
the System passwd files. That's the trick with the DEFAULT
