First, there's the whitelist.c that's available from the git repository and I agree that it should be carefully maintained. Second, there are users with systems that are not in the white list and it would be nice to allow them to add their systems to their own copies of whitelist.c using a script that will check if the system is really new etc. Then, these users would be able to send their copies of whitelist.c to us so that we can extract the relevant system information from them and add it to the "master" whitelist.c. > Using your procedure, if two users modify the script at the some time > and sent it, we will lost one entry, therefore we need to use diff > between them. > > On the other hand, probably the database can be "cleaned".
