[TYPO3] BE_USER data in the FE

[Luc Franken]

You always need a backend user. That is Typo3 by design. There is a huge 
discussion about it which can be found on the mailinglist. Kasper stated 
it as the most "secure" solution. The opinions about it are very split 
up but this is the current situation.

A most problem solver is using an extension which links a backend user 
and a frontend user which makes it possible to auto-login on the backend 
too.
