Hi Roger

It’s not a matter of trust. The problem is that these guys’ ore customers
and they just want to have this ability to look at their own servers. Somehow
I can understand their need of keeping truck of what is happening and that
they also need this control for moving the business forward.

But they do probably not want to be blamed for anything in case of, and
that’s why they don’t want to be able to change anything.

However, I am starting to see that this is not an easy task. But I am still
interested to know if anyone else has succeeded in doing it.

Regards
Madjid
