[ic] password protection of categories

[johny brabo]

This seems a nice suggestion, thanks.

But problem here is that this would only translate the
problem. I could show the category only to users that
have the required field in their userdb, but then I
have to figure out a way to password-protect them from
adding this field.

Any user should be able to get access if they have the
password. So I think I need a way to check if a user
has allready entered a password, and otherwise serve a
login-form if they click the category. Note that I'm
not talking about the user's login name/password.

thanks.
