I certainly don't want to sound harsh. Yet I'd like to pronounce my
concern which regards running a 'critical' authentication service on a
machine that probably only very few SAC members have admin access to,
that runs on a single disk with no backup and that offers a login page
to transfer unencrypted passwords.

I acknowldege that OpenID is a nice game, maybe even a useful service.
Yet I'd propose to proceed a bit more careful when it comes to
authentication services.
Is there any OSGeo Trac ticket, has there been any discussion on
offering an OSGeo OpenID service ? I'm unable to find such thing in
OSGeo Trac.

Cheerio,
	Martin.
