Re: [Echelog-devel] About certificate

[<vo...@ar...>]

Hello,

    The system was designed to be secure. This means that receiver doesn't
trust to everybody who has valid certificate, but checks the values from
certificate against values from his configuration. This more harder to
cheat, but still possible.
    I see the problem with DHCP. But it could be solved by using hostname
in the form myhost.mynet.mycom instead of ip in the Host parameter, or
is there any other problem? The reciever could be easily patched
(see hostmanager.cc:walk_f).
    The receiver still has some nasty bugs, so I plan to rewrite it
    (someday). Any comments are welcome;-)
