[support] Configure a module before it's enabled?

[Michael Prasuhn]

You could always install it on a separate instance of Drupal,  
configure it, and dump the relevant data from the variable table,  
upload it to the new site, before enabling it.

As to the access rules, I have no idea what happened other than  
Earnie's suggestion that it may have been previously installed.
