[Dxspider-support] Cluster Abuse and IP Addresses

[Anthony(N2KI)]

Dirk, et al

I seem to recall years ago having an issue with this file.  When I had a system failure, I was unable to regenerate the
registered user of the system on a Win XP system.  I think that was the beginning for me not instituting the
registration-required system.

Is there a special way to re-install the user_asc file?  Drag and drop perhaps or not?  I thought there was a command to
reinstall the file but it never worked for me.  I seem to recollect that at some point.

In the 'user_asc' file. It is up to the sysop to back these up somewhere 
sensible.

It is a user concept. Nodes have to explicitly allowed to connect as 
nodes (these days) with a set/spider or whatever. This is, in effect, 
"registering" a node. I also recommend one forces nodes that connect to 
use a password.
