I tested the new scheme and am quite happy with. Just a minor thing. When I change the ACL, I get messages from all attached programs, like:

[local:Online:S]RPC hosts>set "Allowed hosts[1]" "host.psi.ch"

While this is good for debugging, I would remove it not to confuse the average user.

The trick not to have to "guess" a remote name is quite useful. I'm happy it even made it into the documentation. There is however an
important shortcoming in the documentation. The old documentation had a "quick start" section, which allowed people quickly to
set-up and run a midas system. This is still missing. And it should now contain a link to the "Security" page, so that people can set-up
quickly remote programs.
