I would recommend copying that MathCommentAuthenticator code that I
referenced into a new Java class in a different package, for example
"org.rocco"
There is a logger in the MathCommentAuthenticator now, so to add debug
logging you'll need this:
mLogger.debug("I just did thing A");
// ...
mLogger.debug("I just did thing B " + x + "times, how about that!?!");

Since the MathCommentAuthenticator uses Commons Logging, Servlet API
and Roller web stuff you will need to compile with these jars on your
classpath:
commons-logging.jar
servlet.jar (from your app server perhaps?)
roller-web.jar
Then put the resulting classes in a jar file, put that jar file in
WEB-INF/lib and add the following to your roller-custom.properties
file so that Roller will use your new authenticator:
authenticator.classname=org.rocco.MathCommentAuthenticator
Hope that helps...
