Is this adding a p/w to the "dpartridge" entry - and if so, which
field is adding it?  Does this "enforce" passwords in the sense that
users *must* provide valid credentials before any access is granted?
Again, what I am attempting to do is just have one user/pw that
everyone will use.  Thanks for helping a newbie out.
