[Opensim-dev] anon logins

[Frank Nichols]

Hmm, well, my response was in regards to the client/viewer. I expect 
each anon login would recieve a UUID which would make it unique as far 
as the server/region is concerned. I expect some tweaking in the server 
would be required. As for chatting etc, well, yes, it might be confusing 
to have 20 or 30 people nearby all with the same name, but I think the 
idea is not an account that people would use long term, but one that 
someone could just drop in and see what OS/SL is all about. Also, the 
server could assign a unique first or last name to the user if needed, 
again, server side tweaks we can handle.

I am not familiar with the client code, so it may in fact be working 
with the account/name and not the uuid, which would be unfortunate 
design - but not the first unfortunate design decision there...
