Either that or place the default passwords in the local/config of each 
field. The idea behind fields is that they're setable independently from 
the other fields. The local/config under the farm simply sets the field 
(all files in wiki.d) that happens to reside under the farm directory.

Actually no, the wikifarm doc page is a behemoth and needs work. I tried to 
split it in subpages (intro, architecture, setup, notes) but the pmwiki.org 
site is quite slow recently, so I gave up.
