+ Use TOKEN for initial access control to the merchant backend. The value

+ access to the merchant backend. Note that setting a passphrase for the

+ TOKEN will only grant access to the 'default' instance, not other instances.
+ Instead of using the command-line, which exposes TOKEN to users on the
+ system, you may want to consider setting the
+ TALER_MERCHANT_TOKEN environment variable instead.
