[dokuwiki] auth.php ACL question.

Hello,

From auth.php (2007-09-30 20:49) line 81:

  $AUTH_ACL = str_replace('@USER@',$_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'],$AUTH_ACL);
What is the purpose of replacing any instance of '@USER@' in the acl file with the current user name? I haven't seen any documentation explaining this. Basically that is just saying: give any authenticated user at least a specific access level regardless of group membership? 

*  @ALL     0
*  @USER@   1
*  @EDITOR  4
*  @ADMIN   255

$conf['defaultgroup'] = '';
What is the difference between that and just setting a default group that authenticated users are part of? 

*  @ALL      0
*  @DEFAULT  1
*  @EDITOR   4
*  @ADMIN    255

$conf['defaultgroup']  = 'DEFAULT';

Was there an intended purpose for this code?

Thanks.

chris
