Handling member Deleted
Addon core_cns
Description Make it so that defined user-agents automatically logged in as defined usernames. This isn't secure, but it's kind of cool from a monitoring point of view, and allows setting different permissions for a search spider.

Create a map between user-agents and their usernames (possibly via bots.txt). Auto-create any usernames that do not currently exist. Put all the members in a 'bots' usergroup.
