Re: [stellation-res] why doesn't stellationd require a "password" argume

	JAAS is nasty and complicated to integrate.  Perhaps a simple
authentication/authorization framework such as the one implemented in
Jakarta's Turbine would be a decent start?  It's not tightly coupled
with Turbine (nor a web interface) and has a relational backend.  Once
that's working you could switcheroo it's implementation with the JAAS
backend.
	You would certainly have a decent user authentication/authorization
framework up quickly.
