Obviously, this method is only secure to the degree that you can limit dissemination of the Guest Pass URL. But that's also true of a password that you announce quasi-publicly. I believe you can revoke the Guest Pass URL, so that it stops working. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
