Please make sure that the old login code gets tested with the old
-loginuri for alternate grids (i.e. osgrid) as well.  It was pulled
early in the 1.18.6RCs when new auth went in, and has taken until the
last RC to get -loginpage to work with alternate grids (OpenSim
currently supports it, btw.)

+1.  Would love voice for Linux to be out there. :)

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
