sorry, generally I would say it is a bad idea to advertise in these
newsgroups for a 3rd party product actually unquestioned. Since you state it
is accepting accounts + passwords I would really avoid to use such stuff on
a server, since no one can give me a warranty that the software does not
contain a phone home backdoor.
Security is the keyword.

Best greetings from Germany
Olaf.
