Sorry for the vague question. This is a clearer one ...

Does the "Default" user function in 1.16.60 ( even if just in text mode ) ?

What if I run in both text mode and ODBC mode ? Will users be able to auth
because of the "Default" user configured in the text file and still have
accounting info in the ODBC database ?
