[Opensim-dev] osNPCxxx functions vs security

[Argus]

Right, I also agree that a huge delay whould not be right. The lsl event 
can handle up to 100 touches. I would say our limit should not be higher 
than those 100 sothat a normal agent still has the chance of triggering 
the event without beeing blocked by the npc.

I do however disagree with touches to the obejct owned by the same owner 
as the NPC. The limit should also be implemented to the owners 
themselfes. Many grieferscripts are passt on to others who accidentaly 
run them. Also testscript can be a huge issue.
