I don't know that this really *is* offtopic, unless it's already a
settled issue amongs the OpenSim devs.

Do you have any personal web pages anywhere?  Do you run any CGI or any
PHP there?  Do you identify everybody who comes there?  That's the
analogy we should think about.  Yes, we need a secure infrastructure so
that only the small number of people you *really* trust can do scary
things.  But at the level of running regions -- well, you may be using a
hosting provider, or you may be hosting yourself, but you don't need
full and complete trust that everybody is who they claim to be just to
connect to the world.
