PS: I neglected to mention that we want users to get to these extra pages by means of links that are present within home.php.

Thanks.

Correction: my final sentence should read as follows: Does anyone know how to allow the administrator to manually enter OpenID-based user ID’s to wordpress when “Anyone can register” is turned off?

Thanks.

Actually, comments are important on this blog, so I can’t disable them.

The blog will be residing on a special site on which there are requirements that no IP addresses of people who access the site can be stored on disk, nor displayed anywhere.

I have already removed utmp and wtmp (it’s a linux box), and I am in the process of modifying the web server (lighttpd) so that no IP addr’s get stored on disk. I’m running an altered version of syslog that changes things that look like IP addresses into xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, and we are running swap on an external ramdisk that has no permanent storage. We do file wiping on the disk, and we’re also making use of other, similar measures.

All that remains is to get WordPress not to store IP addresses in the database, nor to display them anywhere on screen. Changing REMOTE_ADDR seems to be the most straightforward way to accomplish this, although as I mentioned, I’m open to all other suggestions.

Thanks again.
