If ECF_PASSWD environment variable is specified, then the file is read by the client and server.
Then every Every client user command, sends the password to the server. The server will then compare the password for the user with its own file. If it matches, the command is authenticated, otherwise the command fails.
If the password is set on the server, but not on a client, then that user will be denied all access.
The password file can be reloaded to add/remove users. However only users who appear in the password file, can do this.
