Although I suppose they > could just use madison-lite on their machines. I think about using a vserver based host for it, so I can let the users access it via ssh without trusting them. Well, AMs are asked to only give them access after the ID check passed, but noone should consider this archive sane/secure. :) I also think about a small email-interface for the AMs who want their NMs to use it. Something like "Send a signed mail to address X with the keyid somewhere in the body and that id is allowed. Add word remove and its removed. (Rejects for example)." Maybe the remove should be synced with the NM database (for removes and account creations). AMs simply ask me for access to this interface to get it. Host will be dak.ganneff.de then, but its not up yet. Comments? There is also the possibility to add some autobuilders for this stuff. Cant be that hard to setup, at least dak was easy. :) For the real feeling you get with a "failed" on $obscure_arch :) -- bye Joerg Linus: "Wenn Darl McBride die Macht hätte, würde er wahrscheinlich die Ehe als Verletzung der Verfassung auslegen, weil sie ganz klar die kommerzielle Natur der menschlichen Interaktion entwertet und damit ein großes Hindernis für die kommerzielle Entwicklung der Prostitution darstellt."
