Login in user without a prompt

[Vijay Avarachen]

Greg thanks for your response.  Actually I had already done the hidden 
trick and it works pretty well.  I just embedd the password in the html 
and pass it to post_bug.cgi.  Its not the end of the world for the end 
user to find out the password since its a very restricted account.
