Excellent, we all agree.  That's either a good, or a bad sign.  :-)

We'll start with securing the logins (there is a hook for this and it
should be quite easy to make) and then work on designing the
client-to-client security.

Before we do any work on that I'll post a proposal to the wiki so
people can comment on it.

Before we do any of this, however, there is a new OpenAMQ release
(1.0d0, I guess) pending.

Thanks a lot for the input.
