Apparently, I should have said.

It doesn't mean that but your comment made me think of
another related problem - several instances on the same
machine will try to write to the same log file ...

... fixed in 0.2.9 by adding in the process ID when the log
file isn't explicitely specified via --log-file. If the log
file is given the user is responsible anyways.

It doesn't mean that.

It (probably) means that Windows doesn't like processes other
than the opening one to flush a file. Which isn't helpful
knowledge, really.

Anyone knowing the gm-dbo password should be able to
(de-)activate users. There's a button at the bottom to do
so.

Yes. It should be possible to disable accounts for people
who no longer work in a given practice.

Technically there are effectively three levels of admins
above the standard GNUmed staff account

- the local system root (root)
- the local postgresql superuser (postgres)
- the GNUmed database admin (gm-dbo)

which have sufficient inherent powers to enable/disable
GNUmed staff.
