+You will need either a custom authentification module or a working "users.auth.php" 
+in "dw/conf/users.auth.php". A normal dokuwiki install will generate one using the
+credentials you used during the install.
+
+To use the CVS authtentification module, an environment variable is required, its 
+name is "dokuwikitoken". See the sample lighttpd.conf for an example (or use 
+SetEnv in Apache).
+
+There is no data in cvs. The data is only available on the server and backup many
+times daily. If you need sample data using the production documents, please contact
+the php webmaster list.
