E.g. log files could be abused to spy on users like working hours etc. Log files are intended for the responsible administrators of the services not for the world. The general rule of thumb is to limit the exposure of any potential personal data to a minimum. i18n(Grundsatz der Datensparsamkeit) Regards, -- martin -- http://www.erfrakon.com/ Erlewein, Frank, Konold & Partner - Beratende Ingenieure und Physiker ______________________________________________________________________ The OpenPKG Project www.openpkg.org User Communication List openpkg-users@openpkg.org
