[volunteergrid2-l] port help (was Re: New Members)

Fri Apr 6 05:49:27 UTC 2012

Long ago, we set up a gateway node on my server to act as a means of
accessing your files without exposing the secrets of the grid to the
world.

The gateway is password-protected if you request only the gateway,
without providing a full capability (and will allow access to
capabilities without exposing the introducer furl).

Anyway, only three of us every bothered to generate passwords to
access the node, and I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who ever uses
the node as a diagnostic tool. However, it is useful to look at this
node to see if your node if fully available.

I have put a universal usrename and password for all members on the
"Confidential Settings" page
http://bigpig.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ClassifiedSettings , so that
everyone can use that node to verify your node's connection.
