you forgot to think about the member database is now being updated
and rewritten once per minute or possibly even so once per second if your using
a 60 second time frame.

2ndly your now adding more pressure on the maintenence of real accounts being updated, does your sytem have FILE LOCKING to ensure no loss of data on a new member being added?

I can go on and on... but I think you see my point and can think for yourselves
I have set the cron to ones per min. But then there is no users in my script, it dont use cron to anything, it dont read or write anything to the htpasswd file. Off couse then i use cron every min, some surfers gets less than 1 min other get a little more than 1 min.

The reason the logins has "ZITY" in front is to help the scrip, only to remove that ones.

I did know about those problems and it is as server friendly as it could be made.
