Comment(by jason):
One more problem I found. If you delete (or move) your .sage directory,
then there is a problem starting up the server since it requests an admin
password. Here is the log:
{{{
Starting Notebook
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Sage Version 4.5.2, Release Date: 2010-08-05 |
| Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Please wait while the Sage Notebook server starts...
Setting permissions of DOT_SAGE directory so only you can read and write
it.
/tmp/sage-mac-app/local/lib/python/getpass.py:79: GetPassWarning: Can not
control echo on the terminal.
passwd = fallback_getpass(prompt, stream)
Warning: Password input may be echoed.
Enter new password: ...
The notebook files are stored in: sage_notebook.sagenb
Please choose a new password for the Sage Notebook 'admin' user.
Do _not_ choose a stupid password, since anybody who could guess your
password
and connect to your machine could access or delete your files.
NOTE: Only the md5 hash of the password you type is stored by Sage.
You can change your password by typing notebook(reset=True).

The same sort of thing happens if the notebook tries to upgrade an old
notebook (pre-2009 or so). The user is prompted to enter Y/N to whether
they want to upgrade.
The first problem is definitely a problem, since every new user will have
it happen to them.
