As I said, I'm undecided.  My original vision was for the core system to 
be focused on network aware rig abstraction, and not deal with users and 
authentication, and have those who need such facilities install an 
add-on module to offer these facilities (i.e. a remote base scenario).

I was just thinking out loud and could see where you're coming from Art, 
and I could see scenarios where an entity (most typically a club, but 
could be friends) might offer hams remote access to their station on a 
different level to that offered by a remote base (might be an issue for 
data modes).  However, thinking again, a well written remote base add-on 
might still fit the bill better, and offer a full range of user 
management and access control capabilities, so I'm leaning back towards 
no access control in the core of Stationserver (i.e. your latest 
revision to the specs).
