[kronolith] Questions about the CVS version

Yes, you can lock users out of any calendar by setting the permissions on
it. The display_cals preference sets the default calendar; it's a
serialized array, so the easiest thing would be to set it correctly for a
user and then to copy the db entry into prefs.php.

The default calendar(s) are specified by the display_cals preference. That
you get that message when calendars are available is a bug that hopefully
someone can fix.

Patches welcome. We already restrict some things based on guest vs. not
guest.

If I understand you right, such that this would apply to every user, no,
this isn't currently possible, but it sounds interesting.

It shouldn't. Sounds like you're already logged in?
