Sure. CVS access would be great. Thanks. :)

I'll describe a little bit of how the username/password system works. 
If you want to see it, you can go to 
http://www.wesman.net/~wesley/ical/ I don't really have a username and 
password for you to try it out with, since this is my personal calendar 
setup. But basically when you log in the login box goes away and is 
replaced with a Logout <username> link below the navigation links on 
the sidebar.

What happens is a map of username:password pairs are associated with an 
array of calendar names in the config.inc.php file. Then, the 
subroutine that normally handles the loading of a single calendar or 
multiview calendars checks if there is a username and password either 
from GET, POST, or cookie (GET and POST override cookies) for calendars 
the user can access. This list of accessible calendars is equal to (all 
calendars - blacklisted - locked + unlocked).

Logging out deletes the cookies and reloads the current HTTP request 
with the username and password removed from the query string if it 
exists. The patch I submitted uses GET to login; I changed it to POST 
later on but after I submitted the patch.

Hope that answers some questions. Ask me more questions, criticize, etc.

Later,
