For an illustration of how to add username,password authentication to 
a RTSP server, see the code bracketed
	#ifdef ACCESS_CONTROL
	#endif
in "mediaServer/live555MediaServer.cpp" or 
"testProgs/testOnDemandRTSPServer.cpp".

The RTSP client will then prompt each user for a username and 
password, before the stream can be played.
