When will all cluster nodes sysops stop granting anybody a full access
to their nodes without any authentication ?
It is easy to set up DXSpider so that telnet unregistered users get a
read-only acces and only registered users can enter any information.
Of course, this requires some more work in managing the registration
requests, but I believe this is a part of our job we should not forget.
Even a simple procedure, as an email to the sysop who returns a password,
althought it's not 100% secure (but sending a copy of its licence to access
a DX-cluster node would not be acceptable for most people), can discourage
most pirates seeking an instant access into the cluster...
