That's perfect Kevin, Thanks. I had always noticed them
(vendroot/catalog_*.cfg) but assumed they were obsolete, similar to the old
catroot/etc/before.cfg. I figured one day they'd just disappear from the
distro. But, it is prefect, I was able to define a login profile, login
table, and __VAR__ to include in all my templates to control things, all
globally.

I am thinking this DEV setup can do double duty on a live system for
allowing developers to login during planned downtime.

Awesome!
