Description
4 levels of Parental Control is wonderful, but there is only one password (used for changing levels). It would be much more useful for there to be a password at each level. This way, an end user can give one password to the level 2 viewers, another to the level 3 viewers, and keep the level 4 entries to himself. Attached is a patch to do just that. It assumes that L1 is always general viewing, that you can -always- lower the level (ie, always move to a more restrictive view), and that a password can open it's own level or any level under it (thus users only need learn one password).

This patch was contributed by Doug Young (and modified by me, any bugs or other brokeness are mine).
- Added ability for a unique PIN to protect parental level 2 and 3.
- Disallow default parental level view without a PIN (if required).
Caution: A functionality change in this patch:
Before this patch a PIN (if set) was required for any level change. The new PIN levels currently allow for access to levels 2 and 3 without a PIN (by default). If you want the old behavior you need to set "Parental Level 2 PIN".
This can be changed if it turns out to be a bad idea.
PIN checking:
For a level all PINs for that level and up are allowed. If no PINs are found in the first direction, the first valid PIN at a lower level is used. No PINs = all access.
