This looks good, doesn't it work?

To mix 1 and 2, you could have

   $DefaultPasswords['admin'] = $DefaultPasswords['attr'] = crypt('xxx');
   $DefaultPasswords['edit'] = crypt('yyy');

And to make it work in the above setting, place this block in place of the   
"$DefaultPasswords['edit'] = crypt('foobar');" line above, inside the  
{curly} brackets.

This looks good too, if your IP address is fixed, you'll be able to login  
with no password and be added as user "gb" to the group @admin.

Note that there is a login step/action, just go to AnyPage?action=authdns.
