What's the secret?

Hello,

Say I create a grid and a client. I upload some
files to the grid. Now I go on another computer
and create another client. I use the same furl and
connect to the same grid. What do I have to do to
have access to the files I uploaded from the first
client?

It seems there is something very basic about tahoe
that I don't get. On the one hand it seems
obvious that I should have access to my own files
no matter how I connect to the grid. On the other
hand I don't what anybody else to have that
access.

But I didn't see any mention of an authentication
mechanism in the docs. What is the secret part
that authenticates me over anybody else on a grid?

Thanks!
