using the IP address as a means to track people is certainly a bad idea. a common usage in OpenACS is for documentation purposes. E.g. when an entry is created in the content repository it is logged, who (ad_conn user_id) created it at which time and from which ip address. Having the ip address wrong is not a mission critical issue, so maybe many people simple don't care to much about this issue.... greetings -gustaf -- Univ.Prof. Dr.Gustaf Neumann Abteilung f�r Wirtschaftsinformatik WU-Wien, Augasse 2-6, 1090 Wien -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
