I modelled the interactions on programs like ftp which for simplicity require
you to enter some sort of userid/passwd even if they are basically dummies. I am
happy to add code to saceclient to allow the userid/passwd to be specified on
the command line using "-userid your_userid -passwd your_passwd". I saw Tims
fix to the code which I will check and add to our source code, but I think the
command line options is a cleaner solution.

OK, I'm a little confused here, all clients must supply a userid and userid +
passwd hash when connecting, I assumed that AcePerl was talking directly to the
socket server, not via saceclient...that was one of the major points of moving
to sockets. I'm not sure what the "takes a lot of code" is about ??
Does anyone have any comments about this ?
cheers Ed
