Connection Notice.

As far as I can tell the aim is to keep everything as simple as possible

(especially the client / protocol).

My plan was that there should be some kind of option for the server
"Prompt 
before accepting a connection?" along with the settings for password and

ReadOnlyness.  This would mean that the server would always prompt or
never 
prompt depending on how it had been set-up.  If your site set-up is to a
bunch 
of NT boxes that no-ones sitting at then you'd turn the option off.  If
you have 
some users you don't want to scare then turn the option on and let them
refuse 
a connection - If they're on the phone to you asking for your help
they're hardly 
likely to refuse the connection.

As a Network Admin I like being able to sneak around the network, as a
user I'm 
worried that someone is looking over my shoulder without me knowing and
I'd like
to refuse a conection from a stranger.  The network Admin part of me
occasionally 
worries that those strangers are also sneaking around my network.

Good ideas make good code!
