[SETUP] - Using Unix Users and Groups for Trac Authentication

[Manuzhai <manuzhai (at) gmail.com>]

> a) Can I configure trac to use the underlying unix users for the login?

Not as-is, I think. But if you're not afraid of Python code, you could
write a module that provides a different trac.web.api.IAuthenticator
implementation that does what you need. I wonder how you'd want to
authentication against SSH keys through HTTP, though.

Yes, the permission system is decoupled from the authentication
system. Permissions are only linked to any usernames that are provided
to the system.
