I think your has this problem much more than others. Part of that is the size, since you only need one jerk to come in and ruin things. The current server's room-locking mechanism is imperfect, and there's no authentication, as you point out. This is one of the main motivations to host the server behind a Jabber interface, where those safeguards are mature. I think this will be a reality by summer. rk [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
