To my eyes without your battle scar, it felt more natural to say "If somebody says he is user $U and gives a password $P, let him in; keep everybody else out" when configuring a server than saying "Fail anybody whose user name is not $U or who says his password is not $P". I can certainly understand if somebody who has spent a lot of effort to make things _fail_ finds the latter more natural. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
