And it won't.   Mythweb is not designed to be a secure system, and I
don't want it to become so complex that I have to write a
user/permissions editor to go along with it - it's too much for the
average user to have to worry about.  If you need security, let your web
server do it (that's what I do, combined with SSL).

I *might* consider some sort of "admin" login checking for the settings
section (someone recently brought up a valid point about not wanting
unknowledgeable family members to have access to things like the channel
settings), but more likely than not I'll just make it a
manually-disabled option for now.
