I'd suggest simply telling prospective users to set P4USER to "anonymous" and let them each set their own unique P4CLIENT (or use the default of hostname). You can have passwords on all other accounts, and set the protections table to only give read-only access to user "anonymous".

As I mentioned in reply to Joshua Pritikin's original email, the free software agreement can be found at http://www.perforce.com/perforce/licenseforms/free_software.html Just fax that in to 1-510-864-5340 along with a description of the project justifying the "free software" aspect. -- James Strickland Perforce Software Technical Support support@perforce.com (510) 864-7400Thread Next
