It sounds like a good idea at the first glance but has a problem: The
auth stuff is crucial - if you do something wrong you lock your self
out. What happens if I change the auth backend and save but havent
configured it properly, yet?
Personally I always prefer editing a config file for that kind of stuff
but I guess other think different. I'm neither for nor against it,
yet... let's see what others think.
