Actually no: I am using a C code (xmlrpc-c) to call the methods on the
http://www.linux-france.org/cgi-bin/demexp-xmlrpc-test
server with the "root" login.

I commented the 'login' method calls but could still obtain responses 
from other methods ('max_question_id' and 'max_tag_id'). I don't know if 
this is a normal behaviour.

It's a very simple C code (just call and proceed the result). I just 
skipped the 'login' step, and could still access other methods...
