+The directory /spider/scripts is used for several things. Firstly it
+contains a file called startup that can be used to call in any changes
+to the cluster from the default settings on startup. Examples of this
+include how many spots it is possible to get with the sh/dx command,
+whether you want registration/passwords to be permanently on etc. An
+example file is shown below and is included in the distribution as

+From version 1.49 DXSpider has some additional security features. These
+are not by any means meant to be exhaustive, however they do afford some
+security against piracy. These two new features can be used independently
+of each other or in concert to tighten the security.
+
+
+The basic principle of registration is simple. If a user is not registered
+by the sysop, then they have read-only access to the cluster. The only
+thing they can actually send is a talk or a message to the sysop. In
+order for them to be able to spot, send announces or talks etc the sysop
+must register them with the set/register command, like this ...
+
+
+Entering this line at the prompt will only last for the time the cluster
+is running of course and would not be present on a restart. To make the
+change permanent, add the above line to /spider/scripts/startup. To
+read more on the startup file, see the section on Information, files
+and useful programs.
+
+
+To unregister a user use unset/register and to show the list
+of registered users, use the command show/register.
+
+
+At the moment, passwords only affect users who login to a DXSpider
+cluster node via telnet. If a user requires a password, they can
+either set it themselves or have the sysop enter it for them by using
+the set/password command. Any users who already have passwords,
+such as remote sysops, will be asked for their passwords automatically
+by the cluster. Using passwords in this way means that the user has a
+choice on whether to have a password or not. To force the use of
+passwords at login, issue the command ...
+
+
+Of course, if you do this you will have to assign a password for each of
+your users. If you were asking them to register, it is anticipated that
+you would ask them to send you a message both to ask to be registered and
+to give you the password they wish to use.
+
+
+Should a user forget their password, it can be reset by the sysop by
+first removing the existing password and then setting a new one like so ...
