R: [Dxspider-support] [POLL] dx by <call>

[Luigi Carlotto - IK5ZUK]

I think "by <call>" option should be available only with a specific privilege, that sysop can do to some "secure" users. Anyway it could be usefull to have a system flag (i.e. a variable) that enable or disable this new feature for allowed (privileged) users...

73 to all, and thanks to Dirk for his great work !!!

  Oggetto: [Dxspider-support] [POLL] dx by <call>


  In order to maintain compatibility of the dx command with other
  packages, I allow the syntax "dx 14001 fr0g by g7brn" whilst I might be
  logged in as "g1tlh".

  Questions:

  1) Do I keep it as is?
  2) Should get rid of it altogether?
  3) Do I put a privilege on using it?

  What do we need it for? Bearing in mind that is an obvious security
  hole.

  I want to get a feel for community opinion here so please answer the
  questions first and then make any comments you think appropriate.

  Dirk G1TLH
