It would make them usless to those who did not have a username and password.
Tell me why someone that is not an OpenSRS reseller should have access to
the
archives. If they are not a reseller they should not have access. All
OpenSRS
would have to do is add all the curent and future resellers to the list of
names
that are able to retreve the archives. We are not talking about a public
archive
like the PHP, sendmail, linux and other archives. This list should be used
only
by resellers.
