# ok -> hotcrp -> n -> Y
./lib/createdb.sh --dbuser=hotcrp,hotcrppwd --user=root --password=rootpwd

Hi,

Thanks for this. I generally don't accept features into hotcrp that I would not test or use, but I do appreciate that you've made a pull request. In this case, since no changes to hotcrp itself are required, why not make a separate repo? I could link there from the README.
