</span>I thought about implementing SNPP's authentication extension, but<br>
decided that it hamstrung the simple elegance of the protocol.<br>
<br>
I'm not willing to require users to provide their APRS-IS passwords<br>
every time they log in, since even I have found calculating those<br>
passwords seriously inconvenient. I move between systems so much that<br>
the easiest way to get passwords is through the web generators, but<br>
they keep catching flak and getting shut down so I keep needing to<br>
find new password hashers.<br>
<br>
In the end, I don't plan on leaving this one exposed to the Internet<br>
indefinitely, so the daemon's implicit trust can be limited to each<br>
deployment's LAN by the gateway firewall.<br>
<br>
So yes, this daemon doesn't use the APRS authentication mechanism du<br>
jour. I'm more interested in people's first impressions on the daemon<br>
itself.<br>
