An alternative to the read/write/admin passwords is the user level access with a
password file. This file contains user names and passwords in following format:
<p>
<ul><code><pre>&lt;login name1&gt;:&lt;password1&gt;:&lt;full name1&gt;:&lt;email1&gt;
&lt;login name2&gt;:&lt;password2&gt;:&lt;full name2&gt;:&lt;email1&gt;

...</pre></code></ul>

The passwords are encoded. To create or change them, use the "<I>Change
Password</I>" menu point. To create a new user, edit the password file
manually and use an empty password (like "<code>&lt;login name&gt;::&lt;full name&gt;:&lt;email&gt;</code>"), which can then be changed via the "<I>Change password</I>" menu point.

The passwords are encoded. New users can either be created by hitting <b>Register as new user</b>

by the admin user in the <b>Config</b> page by pressing <b>New user</b>. When a user is
logged it, the entry for this user can be modified via the <b>Config</b> command. The admin user
can also change entries for other users.<p>

With this option it is possible for new users to self-register an user account. At the
login page, a link is displayed <b>"Register as a new user"</b> which leads the user to
a configuration page where one can enter the account name, full name and email address. A flag
allows for automatic email notification on new entries on the logbook. These settings can
later be changed with the <b>Config</b> menu command.
