Maybe I am miss-reading the above, but I am not getting this to work for me.

I am running trunk 14785.  I have added PINs for level 2, 3, and 4.  
When MythVideo starts, it is in level 1.

I can switch to any other level without being prompted for a password.  
Prior to this patch, I had a PIN and would be prompted for changes to 
all levels.

I was hoping to have different PINs for each level ( except 1 ). 

Maybe I am missing something.

Any help would be appreciated.

Michael
