User management server

======================
30
The "user management" server (:file:`usrmgt-server`) is an
31
inappropriately-named program which must be run as root in the background of
32
an IVLE instance. It is responsible for performing tasks at the request of the
33
IVLE web application, which require root privileges:
35
* Activating users when they first log into the system (including the creation
36
of jails and user Subversion repositories).
37
* Creating group Subversion repositories.
38
* Rebuilding Subversion configuration files.
