Single mode vs server

[GoogleCodeExporter]

At present, it is assumed that Crunchy is going to run as a "server" in a
multi user environment.  This means that we require a two step process:
create an account first, using the account_manager module and then start
Crunchy.

It might be worthwhile creating a default account that would bypass
authentication.  A nice friendly warning could be added on the front page
when that is done.  This could be done via the username plugin.

The default account name could be called "Security Risk" and, when displayed by 
the
username plugin, could link to a page explaining what's being done.

In addition, account_manager could be then turned into a plugin and user names 
could
be added/removed right on a special page from within the browser.  This page 
would
only be viewable by people with administrative rights - either that or only
administrators would have access to the command to edit user information...

This, other than the special page to be used as an interface to the 
account_manager,
has been implemented.  The special page idea would not be good as anyone could 
very
likely bypass the admin rights security feature and modify the user file to give
themselves admin rights....
