There are three modes envisioned:

1) Local   : you authenticate against the local database
2) Global  : you authenticate against a single phpwebsite db
3) Foreign : you auth against a foreign source

The authentication table is just an username and password. The user
table does not contain your password, only your user information. We may
expand this to a global user db as well. Not sure yet.

The user module will allow the admin to choose how each user
authenticates.
