I've not had access to my mail for some time, but thanks all for your responses.

ACL sounds like the way forward but I still have the worst case scenario that 
some users who may not subscribe fast enough and do not set up their queue 
appropriately, as we are in a self-service environment, are at risk of spoiling 
it for others.

And you can bet that the users who try to take more data than they consume are 
also the users who don't set up their queues correctly!

Minor niggles.

Great product!

Subject: Re: Qpid Default Configuration

I tested the ACL method (deny mode) and it does work.
"acl allow <user/group> create queue  policytype=ring"
(All though if you use "allow" mode it will not work as the default value for 
queue policy is empty and it's not allowed to be specified in ACL at the 
moment).

Having a configurable default queue policy type will be very convenient as a 
user does not have to specify it explicitly.
But as Jakub points out even if you configure a default, a user could overwrite 
it if they want.
So having the ACL rule will prevent that.

Regards,

Rajith
