But why are you doing that? web2py already has built-in username
functionality, and your custom code doesn't add anything to that, so why
bother?
Anyway, as it is, your code will result in auth.settings.use_username being
set to False, which will result in the "Retrieve username" option being
excluded from auth.navbar() (could be used for other purposes in the future
as well). Of course, you could explicitly set that setting, but again, why
bother?
Also, what is the point of creating the custom_auth_table variable when you
can just use db.auth_user?
