  32. <h3>Summary</h3>
  33.  
  34.     <p>This module does access control in a manner similar to
  35.     anonymous-ftp sites; <em>i.e.</em> have a 'magic' user id
  36.     'anonymous' and the email address as a password. These email
  37.     addresses can be logged.</p>
  38.  
  39.     <p>Combined with other (database) access control methods, this
  40.     allows for effective user tracking and customization according
  41.     to a user profile while still keeping the site open for
  42.     'unregistered' users. One advantage of using Auth-based user
  43.     tracking is that, unlike magic-cookies and funny URL
  44.     pre/postfixes, it is completely browser independent and it
  45.     allows users to share URLs.</p>
