[HECnet] Statistics

Well, if it's only HECnet accessible, then what's the issue? 

I suppose you could remove the password and just say "email me for password".

This service has been up for like 2+ years and gets about 10 visits a month FYI.

I have put details of my Guest account and its password into my info.txt

BTW, this is what we are talking about:

It's not all THAT interesting to even random people on the wider
Internet...

OK, I'll make it opt-in - if there's an INFO.TXT in the public FAL dir,
I'll run
the NCP commands, otherwise I'll show nothing.

Is that OK with you?

With this in mind, I'm considering adding an opt-out system for the
HECnet info system on RHESUS, maybe a NOINFO.TXT file in the public
FAL directory and it won't run the NCP SHOW EXECs?

Or is everyone OK with what RHESUS is doing now?


That kind of depends on what exactly RHESUS is doing now.

I'm quite happy for anyone on HECnet to send commands to my NML
servers or to make information from my systems available to others on
HECnet. However I am nervous of making this information available to
anyone who wants it on the wider internet, particularly if it is a
spur of the moment kind of thing which is changing by the hour
without much thought being given to the implications.

I don't think opt-out is a good way to go. People who have not
carefully combed through the 80 plus mails to the mailing list today
will not realise that they are being required to opt out from
something that they did not know they were opting in to.
