Great! It's very good to have alternative options, as long as they are 
documented, and they don't cause confusion with the user (ie, make sure 
that the user does not include both authentication methods :) ).

Also, as you mention, OS specific users should be noted. The generic 
installation uses "gnuhealth" user, and not "tryton".

Excellent! Yes. We need to have the documentation of the HMIS, version 
dependent, in the GNU Health federation portal, as in the case of 
Thalamus or MyGH.

Absolutely! Thank you Gerald!!
