Hi,
when using "external database" authentification (and maybe other methods)
users can reach (if they know it exists) "/moodle/login/signup.php" and
manually create an account.
I think this should not happen (denying access to the signup.php page
regarding to the selected authentification method).
For the moment, I just added an "exit;" at line 2 of the file
(I just don't want any of my students to mess things up)
Regards,
Fred.

Thanks, Fredric! I've now fixed signup.php in CVS so it doesn't allow
this. Your one-liner is perfect for those sites using external
authentication who need a quick fix.
If possible, future security-related problems should go directly to me so that I can distribute fixes to registered sites privately before making public announcements here.
Cheers,
Martin

No problems at all, Frederic! Any information about this stuff is very much appreciated!
I just mentioned this for the next time someone finds something.
