+htdigest authentication can also be used for more than one project.
+The digest file can be shared:
+{{{

+== Tracd on Windows ==
+
+tracd also works on Windows. But on that platform, 
+the sensitivity on multithread issues is high.
+tracd is not (yet!) very robust in multithread mode,
+see for example #1401 and #1721 for some of the issues...

+I recently found out that all the occasional problems 
+(i.e. crashes) I had can be avoided by telling tracd 
+to operate in single-threaded mode:
