How does registration work with DX Spider nodes? Can I just log into a<br>
cluster with any call I want and request registration and it will be<br>
given, or is there some checking to verify that I really am who I say I<br>
am?</span></font></p>

registration for some time now Lee and it is simply a deterrent. There is
no way to prove that someone is who they say they are but I have had no issues.
I can also stop any abuse that is seen by simply removing the
registration from that user until I can work out what is happening.</span></font></p>

my duty to check the cluster and try to be aware of any issues that crop up.
I also have the time to do it these days :) Unfortunately, some
feel they can simply install the software and let it run itself, sometimes to
the detriment of the network.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I strongly suggest that
sysops require registration for their nodes. I can check the IP addresses
of locally connected users easily and I can RCMD that information from another
cluster with Spider. I cannot look at the IP address of anyone else
though of course. However, I do not totally see the need to in a network
with the simple addition of registration.</span></font></p>
