I worked with it a bit to get it to work, and a few straces later and several
file not found errors I found out that at least on my machine you need to also
create an empty run directory.

On the other hand, why is all the fuss with the password file if you can simply
import you own password file whenever you work with the embeded server.
Wouldn't it be simpler and lighter all around to just allow for an
empty/default username/password? (it would also save the 600K extra file in the
directory).
