1). i don't like that client can pass without authentication phase.
If he want to login as anonymous, he has to do it. IE,
USER anonymous address@hidden
2). I don't like that check of user/password is made by gnatsd and not
by "database driver". I mean that function that authentificates user
isn't called by init_gnats that actually connects to database, but after
it. Access control is done by gnatsd, and not by database driver.
3). There is no access control for query-pr, send-pr and edit-pr. This
is close to the subject of 2)., because authentification is made on
the side of client, not on the side of database.
Advanced topics.
4). I want that some bugs can be edited only by group of developers.
It can't be done in current version.
Is it enough? ;-)

May be you could make a CVS branch for 4.99?

Heh, that's bad because I wanted to begin making implementation very
actively. Do you have thoughts on the subject? I'm writing
``specification'' of some kind. Maybe it will give the subject for
discussion.
