Hi all,<br>
<br>
Thanks Dirk for your courtesy: assuming you add code to allow
"remote control", at the moment we have another big problem because
inside our cluster network a very large number of spider nodes are
running a very old spider version... and unfortunately I don't see a
way to "force" the owners of that nodes to update to the latest
Spider's version.<br>

DXSpider was written because, in the 1990s (yes, it's been going
that long), there was a situation where anybody could disconnect
someone on another node, at any time. And there was a (sub)
command to do that disconnection "silently", i.e. just as though
the connection dropped. A sysop could read another node's logs
to see what someone "was up to" and also interfere generally
with that node as though he (and all sysops were male) was in
control. <br>
<br>
I make no apology for making that sort of thing difficult ->
nearly impossible. But I am open to adding code to allow
something more nuanced in the way of remote control. But I am
constantly aware that this could and, sadly, might well be
abused. <br>

<div data-marker="__QUOTED_TEXT__">The dxcluster network is
most vulnerable due to the unresponsiveness of some
administrators so enabling registration on well maintained
systems does not provide a permanent solution. dxcuster
programs should be designed in such a way that it is
possible to disconnect the malicious system remotely from
the network with super user administrator rights. We are far
from such a solution due to the facts described above and
fight spammers to the best of our abilities.</div>
