I have used a different approach.
Since the program knows my default master password and my default 
master login, the client is able to register himself on his first 
login.
I already asked for that, but need to ask again here: is it ok to 
open master.vdb and read this info from there? It seems to work and I 
get what I need, but I am not sure if this is all right...
