+If the string "__BEGIN_VIEWONLY__" appears on a

+viewonly access. For compatibility, as a special case
+if the file contains only two password lines the 2nd
+one is automatically taken as the viewonly password.
+Otherwise the "__BEGIN_VIEWONLY__" token must be used
+to have viewonly passwords. (tip: make it the 3rd and
