[volunteergrid2-l] mod_proxy protected gateways -- common user file

[Jody Harris]

I thought of that, too.... :-)

Another thought:
If each person could create their own entry in the user table, then each
user's password would be always confidential.

  - Each user could publish their entry to a mutable file in the grid,
  - then supply the capability to the "gatekeeper."
  - The gatekeeper could add the information to the cronjob
  - The gatekeeper_cronjob would generate the central file.


----
- Think carefully.
