[mythtv-users] Mythweb security

[Bill Chmura]

I suggested awhile back to check login that would do some simple limiting on 
the prioirity setting.  This would limit the max priority that a user can 
have.

The inspiration was similar... my gf set something to +75 on my system

If I had to do it, I would still use the apache login, but then check the user 
inside mythweb.  Yes, this ties it to apache - but it could be made to fail 
gracefully - as in the priority restrictions don't work if you run it on 
something else - or code in modules to handle the other servers.

I'd be willing to code it in, but I would want the maintainer to agree that it 
is good and would be included.
