With this happening, and other issues I've had with a certain wireless
ISP continually attempting to mirror the entire site, along with a members
of tcwug expressing concerns about random users being able to find their
home address, http://maps.tcwug.org will be moving to username/password
based authentication. I had planned on doing this to a lesser degree
for node editing but at this point I'm simply going to lock the entire
site down.

So, at this point I'm going to ask that people wanting to participate
e-mail me a username/password (username being your email address),
MAKE SURE THE PASSWORD IS NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU VALUE, not only will
I have this password, but for the time being it will be sent in plain
text to the server for HTTP auth.

Feel free to PGP encrypt your message to me, my key is in my sig below.

At a later date there will be a page (https) that you can change
this password at, which will integrate with a NoCatAuth database for
authentication.

If you're using the wireless ISP that's currently abusing the network 
that maps.tcwug.org runs on, you will not be granted access at this time,
I apologize. (No, it's not Implex)


			Thanks.
