True enough, but a *LOT* of people know that ANY RSP's Manage.cgi scripts will allow them to use their interface, so, I think they need to make that NOT work, so that they have to use either The RSP's that they registered the domain with, OR the public one at OpenSRS, for those Resellers who do NOT maintain a private one.
I would like it though, that if the RSP DOES have a private one, as most of us do, then when they login to the public one, it uses LWP::Simple or something, and redirects them to mine, based on what I set it to in the RWI. If NONE then do not redirect. Seems like it would be fairly simple. Anyone know when Charles will get back from vacation? I can't remember, and I already deleted his email from my inbox and deleted folder.
