Authentication
If you decide that you need a minimal level of security in the form of rejecting casual users, you can
enable authentication on the proxy. This will require people to configure D-RATS with a password
in order to connect. To do this, create a text file in the working directory of the repeater called
users.txt and place lines such as the following inside:
?KK7DS foobar ?K7TAY girlie
The format of the file is one record per line, each line is the callsign followed by a space,
followed by the password that user must supply. On Windows, this file should go in C:\Program
Files\D-RATS\users.txt unless you installed D-RATS to an alternate location. On Linux or MacOS
it will go in the directory from which you spawn the repeater.

Is there way to block a user from a ratflector?? We have two operators from Portugal sending weather messages to us almost continuously. That unneeded traffic makes it easy to lose track of local traffic.? I've filtered them in DRATS, but would like to block them from the ratflector.
