[Opensim-users] Grid Security

[Fleep Tuque]

Hi Josh,

As far as I know, in order to connect a region to your grid, someone would
need to know all the connection details and unless you provide that
information, I'm not sure how anyone would know how to or be able to
connect to your grid.  FleepGrid has been running for nearly 2 years and
I've never seen any attempts to connect a rogue region as far as I know, so
I'm not sure it's much of a concern.

I'll let someone with more knowledge of the possible configuration options
address any .ini settings that you might be able to use to disable region
connections, but if this is a security issue or problem, it's the first
I've heard of it.

Sincerely,

- Chris/Fleep
