In SerendipityVe-r0.6-rc1, how do you enable multiple users, as expected?

Sorry, since there is no documentation I have to keep asking these things.. Is this another case of enabling my own access permissions via .htaccess?

well.. you can use the simple form of multiauthor by editing the _authors table in phpMyAdmin

However, full multiuser support won't be part of s9y before 0.7 (get CVS if you REALLY need it (still aplha))

Tom,

I have added a new user using PhpMyAdmin.
But I notice that the users' passwords which appear in MySQL have been encrypted by Serendipity, so I am assuming any further users' passwords which may be added using direct access to MySql will fail to be unencrypted by the Serendipity logon script.

Is this what you meant by a simple form of multiauthor?

you just have to tell phpMyAdmin to md5 encrypt the text, just select MD5 from the dropdown next to the input field
