Hi there!

1st off must say this is a great client. the best console client for linx there is, IMO. being a linux control freak myself couldn't find anything better :)

got some concerns tho. how about implementinmg some sort of access control/authentication to the btqueue running in daemon mode?

a the the moment when i start btqueue in daemon mode basically anyone logged on the box could connect to its: `btqueue remote` and futz with my downloads/seeds. not too good.

so what i sugest is implement
1. single user mode only - only the user who started the daemon can connect to it.

or

2. standard PAM authentication for connected users (wouldn't work on windows tho)

or

3. btqueue's own user database (l/p) to authenticate connected users.

probably i'm missing something, but the docs are kinda sparse. e.g. i still didn't figure out how the management web interface works. i tried to point my browser to http://127.0.0.1:19412/ where it's supposed to be running, but i get some socket errors. hints any1 ?

cheerz,
