This is higly misleading, if you don't finger him you might end up thinking you're playing the program by Remi Coulomb. About limiting the acces to clones, I don't know if it work. Probably it would be better to limit the total number of permitted accounts running the same program at the same time. In such a case people would end up being excluded if to many other acounts are already there ,and people would tend to choose different prorgams, if they really wanted to conrtol a computer. To make this work one should: - label precisely all the computer accounts - distinguish the "original" one - may be close connections to accounts for which other, running same program, are waiting to enter, and the program was not challenged for last 30 minutes. bye Franz
