[Gnump3d-devel] Password Login and IP activation

[Benjamin Peter]

Hi,

I am not absolutely sure what the previous password mechanism for 
gnump3d looked like since I am using it just for a few weeks 
now.Generally I really like the KISS paradigm.

Currently I am only starting gnump3d when I need it because of the lack 
for a login mechanism. I understand the problem with the audio players 
not being able to login but since there is an IP filtering feature you 
might be able to create a login mechanism via browser that activates the 
user's current IP to access the daemon for some hours or until logout.

Has this idea every come up? I realize it would be not too save if a 
proxy is involved but, I wouldn't actually care and it would surely be 
optional.


Waiting for your comment,

Benjamin Peter


P.S. sorry if you may have seen the mail already but there was no 
response on the uses mailing list so I decided to go for the developer's 
list which may be better anyway.
