Re: [Mldonkey-users] feature requests: disconnect client after full chunk; change client md4 every 24h

This is with mldonkey stopped, otherwise this change will be ignored (and
wiped in no more than save_options_delay seconds ;)

This could be done by adding a

00 00 * * * /path/to/mldonkey/mldonkey_command set client_md4 = "blabla"

line to your crontab, but I'm not sure if the client_md4 can be changed
while mldonkey is running.

If a restart is needed, then the solution of generating a new md4 every n
hours is worse than the problem.

As it has been stated, you *might* be attacked by a md4 faking client, and
loose some credits. But if you fight this by generating a new md4 and
restarting mldonkey every n hours, you definitely *will* loose sources
(and by restarting, you will loose connection to good servers, rehash
time, etc.)
