What a stunningly bad idea! So anyone running a server would either have to take the trouble to exchange keys and set things up manually for everyone who wants to play, or give strangers a login access. And every go program would have to add the ssh libraries and the trouble of establishing such connections. Some platforms may have easily usable libraries for that, but can you guarantee that all do? I have so little time for go programming that I would not like to waste my time on unnecessary 'security'! - Heikki -- Heikki Levanto "In Murphy We Turst" heikki (at) lsd (dot) dk _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
