Is there any nice way to get xmlrpc to pass a login/password to a server
that requires it? I looked in vain for such a thing in xmlrpclib.py.

Are all xmlrpc servers assumed to be world executable?

I looked in xmlrpclib.py ad it doesn't seem to use splituser so
presumably can't get at user:password.
