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