Eh? I was talking about *registered* users who access Grex
exclusively via the web.

So you were. Well, if you could implement a cgi to invoke the members
command and return as a web page *to registered readers only*, that would have
the same effect as telling telnet users to run it for themselves.

Let's see, what would be the point of making the membership list
hard to get at? Think I missed that.

Places that cater to the rich and famous usually keep a lid on their
memberships lists. That also applies to non-profits that have big benefactors
as members. The object is to reduce notoriety and annoyances for such members
(who are more likely to be subject to it than us plebians). Well, you
asked.....

Yes, but what does that have to do with us? "Catering to the
rich and famous" is not exactly the first phrase that comes to
mind when I think of Grex.

If most organizations liquidated all their assets and went to
Germany after 8 years.....?

Well, making the membership list a cgi would mean you wouldn't have to
maintain a web page that changes constantly. And since you asked, I can't
prevent anyone who figures out how from running the members command, but I
don't particularly want to advertise whether or not I'm a member - it isn't
useful for anyone to know.

I was responding to the general question, not the specific one. But I
tend to gree with albaugh - publishing membership lists invites misuse.
