This has been asked for before, but degenerated into flames because the person who asked apparently had some sort of negative history with some other people here. Why the source for login hasn't been released recently wasn't adequately addressed.
It's a shame because they're creating a single point of failure for Verant to attack if they wish.
It's also a problem for those of us with NATs, since we can't connect to our own servers if we use gotfrags.
The only solution I know of right now (it's what I use) is to run the minilogin binary on your Everquest machine, and point your world binary at that machine (in the loginserver.ini file). Then in your eqhosts.txt file, use localhost:5999 as the servers. It works; it's not optimal, but it works.
It would be nice to know why the source isn't being released though...
