So you support exactly one username / password pair, and everyone uses the
same username and password, right?

So are you saying that you /don't/ want to have a password file like this?

alice: alice's password
bob: bob's password
charlie: charlie's password
...

because to me that seems like it's by far the easiest method, so I'm really
curious to know why you don't want to do that.

Or have I misunderstood?
