[Dxspider-support] Secure node to node connection proposal

[Mikel EA2CW]

Thank you for your answer, Matthew

for the packet cluster?
All we know that there is already a big hole on the system integrity, 
every can transmit with a fake callsign and both "humans" and skimmers 
will spot him wrong.  It seems that this is inherently unavoidable. We 
will never be able to give 100% security, we can only try to raise the 
skills needed to have success.

XDDDDDDD Never listened before that about babies!. Well as it has 
already been said, a lot of logger and contest softwares use different 
protocols to connect to several information sources or auto uploading 
logs (i.e. to QRZ.COM, LoTW, etc.) Why cannot be the same with cluster?
Almost all that software runs on Linux or Windows, and both have native 
ssh support. In any case, they can keep on connecting and downloading 
info from the dx-cluster net.
