CLI access for GNATS can be achieved via Bugzilla (some SQL fu involved IIRC), but in all honesty turning off the anonymous submission functionality might make some of the bugbusters lives easier (I remember several times that spammers tried pounding the crud out of GNATS with useless requests). Registration/authentication is a model that other projects adopt -- why not just do things this way? Thanks, -Garrett
