[Opensim-dev] Changing the permissions of osAvatarName2Key

[Mister Blue]

Changing the ThreatLevel as opposed to changing the entry in
'osslEnable.ini' would cause existing installation that are using
ThreatLevels as os function control to allow these functions. The
ThreatLevel change would change regions that enable os functions but only
the VeryLow functions. Are there many regions that do this?

As an alternative, leave it ThreatLevel 'low' but change the entry in
osslEnable.ini  to 'true'. This would enable the function for all while
keeping the previous threat note. Region owners who are using the
ThreatLevel for control will probably think this is set at the level they
need. Those who are not using ThreatLevel (and are probably just using the
osslEnable.ini settings) wouldn't mind changing these functions to be
enabled.

Also, if changing ThreatLevel is a Good Thing, consider changing
osGetGridName and osGetGridNick to VeryLow as these functions are needed by
scripts while HGing. These are already 'true' in osslEnable.ini.
