Have a look under "Access control" in the manual. What you need is "Read
Password".

thanks. that seems to get me the functionality i needed. is there any way to
get rid of the username line when using the "Read Password" feature? as it is
now, you can either leave it blank or enter anything you want, so long as you
use the correct password it still works. however, to keep users from getting
confused, i think it would be better to only have a box asking you for the
password and not both the password and username.

No, this is an HTTP standard. The dialog box is generated by your browser, and I
do not know any way to prevent it.

God really STRANGE and problematic effect on 2.5.5-1 (can't remember it this
was with 2.5.5 or 2.5.4-X but i'm nearly sure it worked well):

Entering a date (Formate Bithday = date) may crash down the server:
Value is 22.2.2004: Everything is well
Value is 22.2.1962: Server crashes emmediatly (menas restarzing several
times, always the same problem)

I do not have time to check true all the years for finding out where the
problem may beginn, sorry. Also I was not able to check on other systems
right now. My system: Win XP Pro SP 1, IE 6 as well as Mozilla Calssic 1.7.3. 

Didn't check it under Linux right know in case of a lot work.

Clould you this fix please Stefan???  THANK'X!!!
icon5.gif   admin menu, posted by Heiko Scheit on Sun Dec 19 17:11:07 2004 
Could you implemet and option 'admin menu' which gets displayed
when an 'admin' is logged in.  This menu could e.g. also include 'Delete'
while the normal menu would not.

You can achieve the same via

Allow delete = <admin name>
