People can only connect with their personnal login/password/MAC_address combo. So they won't give it away to anybody. If someone do (and know they also have to give their MAC address...), (s)he'll be the one in trouble (trouble meaning no more Internet connection, wireless nor wired) if a problem occur. Of course, if connections settings were the same for every one, that would probably not work. -- Rémi Denis-Courmont http://www.simphalempin.com/home/
