I will donate for the login server host upgrade. However I do strongly believe that we need a non-centralised alternative to the central server to stop the project dying further down the road when things happen - as indeed it has nearly died at the moment due to the flakiness of the current setup.
All I ask for is a minilogin that does more than just IP based authentication, and will run on Linux (or, sigh, under WINE on Linux at a pinch). There are great benefits to being part of a centralised login server for operators that want to attract passing traffic, but for a "friends and family" server operation like mine, I simply don't need the public server but also I need to support the people who live in the same house and share the same IP address, and messing around with php scripts every time those people zone simply isn't going to cut it.
(no offence is intended to anyone - I have the greatest respect and admiration for people like KLS who have done so much to keep the project alive)
