This script has to be run as root on the server. Therefore, only an administrator can add users. It is like using "pserver" authentication for CVS. But without any protection, you are right. Furthermore, without login enabled (on the server it is just a question of removing --nologin from/etc/sysconfig/patimage), and using the default port (and no firewall), anyone knowing the name of the image can download it. I have downloaded in the past a whole fedora image from a server in another city.

Also, I changed the name of the default city to Smallville. :) (I kept the same releae).
