<p class=MsoNormal>You’re connected to me and it’s all good. However, I
can see you’re running a very old version of dxspider (1.55 build: 250), this
is something you really should look at updating as there’s a big push at the
moment to get people onto the mojo branch.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>1. Security - I turned on registration, but passwords,
do Sysops normally turn this on? If so, I see the Sysop has to configure the
first. Is it possible to setup a script to automagically set the initial
password to the users call sign and then hand control back to the user for
setting something different?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>2. Is there any variables that can be used in MOTD to
give status of cluster? If so is there a list of them somewhere?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I guess I have one other question I have not seen anywhere<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Is there any best practices from an administration point of
view. Things to check / do at regular intervals? I am thinking
check for updates, patch system (normally I do that monthly) but is there
anything from cluster operation that tends to be problematic I should monitor?<o:p></o:p></p>
