Log into the web server which would adjust the iptables rules to allow the authenticated user to log in. - This could be either direct or using XML-RPL or SOAP to ask a remote server to do the work. 2. Server adds an iptable LOG rule to detect that the user is still connected (I'll come back to this in a bit). An ALLOW rule will also need to be added to actually allow the connections. 3. User connects to the RA server as per normally done today. Protocol does not need to change. 4. If the player hasn't been seen for a period of time (5 minutes??), then drop the LOG and ALLOW rule from iptables. Perhaps the web server needs to be told that the user has logged out. I think that would work. Unfortunately I don't have access to another computer to develop this. But should be easy enough. Personally I'd create a customer chain to put these rules in as it will allow easy separation of your firewall rules (if required) from the temporary rules created by this system. Have fun for whoever does this. George I have written a quick framework which I believe should work with minimal changes. One To Do that i can't (Lacking a machine to test from) - Written in CGI Perl (criteria: Installed on my Asus eeePC). Modules required are minimal if not part of the core. - Mostly centres around one script which authenticates the user setting a browser cookie when doing so. - Web server: lightttpd 1.4.x as it is an easy install onto the eeePC (default reporsitiory) The authentication details for the database has been separated to allow whatever you wish to be dropped into place. TODO - Write code for manipulating the iptableas rules - Currently there is not tainted data checking as I'm still working through that. I'd like to tidy up the code somewhat before putting it out to the public arena, under the GPL license. However, if someone would like to see what has been done, please drop me a private email.

[Flightgear-devel] Joystick Donation
I have an ms force feedback pro joystick which is in excellent condition. It has the the joystick port interface. I am not using it, so I would like to donate it to a Flightgear developer. Please let me know who I should send the joystick to(Continental US addresses only please), and I will send it to them.

[Flightgear-devel] Rain/ Snow/ Visibility and Rwy-lighting
Hi, Looking at an online weatherradar I figured out today a nice spot for practizing IFR-approaches ( LSZH). Heavy showers of snow, visibility about 500m - great fun! Great work and thanks for the Rain patch! But there was something I missed- the runway lighting! Ususally with a certain value of visibility the rwy lighting is set on- but not with precipation. Can we add this to the To-Do-list of the rain-patches?
