I've installed namecoind, created a bitcoin.conf with user and pwd, started the daemon which downloaded all blocks, then retrieved my address and entered it into the mining.bitcoin.cz account. is there anything else I must do to start the namecoin mining? what is the username and password for?

No

Your namecoin daemon is waiting for commands.
The login and password (only available locally) ensure you that your are the only one to access the daemon (the namecoind client speaks to the namecoind daemon using the login/pass).

The namecoin daemon is running. If I start another session and give commands to the daemon no password is asked for!?
