Thanks for you quick and correct answer. I have one question left ;-)

Suppose I want to have different password files for all the logbooks, but I want to 
have a single (admin) user that can log in to all logbooks... Do I need to specify 
the admin data in all the different password files, or can I use one global 
password file containing the login name and password for the administrator?
