 * We’re moving ahead with the phpbb sso implementation (despite the error as posted
   earlier). One question has come up:
 * How will phpbb groups integrate into wordpress roles? If we make the worpress
   roles match the names of the phpbb groups, will users be put into the same-named
   wordpress roles automatically?
 * Thanks.

 * They don’t integrate at all. This plugin simply makes phpBB handle the authentication
   for both WordPress and the forums. Another thing is that when a user registers
   with WordPress it will create an account in phpBB, but if a user registers in
   phpBB it will not create an account in WordPress. So we had to disable new user
   registration in the boards and let WordPress generate the phpBB accounts instead.
 * This is a really good, simple plugin, but requires a high level of proficiency
   if you are planning to use on a production site. Also, at least for me, the WP2BB
   feature does not work in full. I can’t get the options to choose which forum 
   to post to, so it always goes to the default one in the settings.

 * OK, thanks for the feedback.
 * Question: doesn’t the initial installation add the phpbb users to the wordpress
   user list?
