the default data() function exposes all tables. That's why it's by default
protected. When you stripped off your model, you deleted the part that
istantiate all the authentication "feature" of web2py.
By default every app has that "feature" (that is a module) available as
"auth" . That's why the decorator call (auth.requires_*) goes into error:
in your app "auth" doesn't exist.
Just delete the def data(): function and live happy for the time being ^_^
