[Dxspider-support] Lockout List

[Dirk Koopman]

All (new to you) nodes that come through the routing system are locked 
out by default. This is to protect nodes from "connection tourism" which 
was quite fashionable 20 or so years ago. If you did a 'set/spider 
gb7ujs' that *should* have unlocked GB7UJS (and, if it didn't then I 
want to talk offline). Alternatively 'unset/lock gb7ujs' will work.

This means that sysops have to ask their (prospective) node partners for 
a link, both sides then do a 'set/spider' and both unlock and mark up 
that call as a node (and with a default privilege of 1).
