@cern.ch and @dell.com both are totalitarian ruled systems. I would prefer an
anarchy and grant all users to add whatever they want. The main problem is that
this package can't meet all demands, because there are users who prefered free
access to the resources like me and there are some oppressors like you and matt
who prefer a whitelist and I'm sure someday there will be a user who asked for
the blacklist-feature.
The Whitelist-feature seems to satisfy the wish of the vast majority (I can't
believe that 2 people can be a majority, but okay), so I will completely
integrate the whitelist-feature in the next few days. Then it will work ootb
after the deamon is (re)started with the filled whitelist. Btw it works for me
if I edit all sections of the conffile which are related to this feature.
