I guess the only effective way to deal with handing out of uid/passwds is this "iso express" service selling uid/passwds as tickets, once you do a successful download, your uid/passwds expires. This way, things would be the same way when you buy a CD.
This way, when I'm on a modem or ISDN line (yes, there are people crazy enough to download for ~45 hours over 24.4 k modem - I've done it myself) - maybe even cable or DSL, I've never tried those -- and my connection gets dropped, on the second log in attempt, I get "Sorry, you've already downloaded this".
Most companies give you a window to download it, incase your download fails. Although, if this service was also to implement RedHat Network-style features, expired passwords wouldn't do the trick. Hmm... anyone familar with the way RedHat deals with this for RH Network usage? -Tim -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
