I'm not sure we have to explain "nopass" to do this -- perhaps all we
have to do is say that the SideBar page is unlocked by default, and
the admin can set a password on it (just like any other password)
if they wish to lock it. We don't have to tell them to use "clear".

I'm very against script/configuration magic of this sort. There are
already enough factors involved in determining a page's protections
without introducing even more exceptions to have to worry about. :-)
