Login problems with trac

[Simon Marlow]

Right, I turned off edit access by unknown users, except guest.  I'm not 
inclined to enable it again until we have a solution, because this time the spam 
  left quite a lot of damage to clean up.

I've added greenrd to the 'developer' group, so you should be able to make 
changes from your account.

Cheers,
	Simon
