Description:

This package contains mod_auth_anon module. It allows "anonymous" user
access to authenticated areas. It does access control in a manner
similar to anonymous FTP sites; i.e. have a 'magic' user id
'anonymous' and the email address as a password. These email addresses
can be logged. Combined with other (database) access control methods,
this allows for effective user tracking and customization according to
a user profile while still keeping the site open for 'unregistered'
users. One advantage of using Auth-based user tracking is that, unlike
magic-cookies and funny URL pre/postfixes, it is completely browser
independent and it allows users to share URLs.
