Admincp on a different machine?

[kjkoster]

Dear Paul M,

I meant to say that the regular forum mysql user should not have CREATE/ALTER/DELETE privileges and the administrative site should. My bad.

As for the password protecting, that would not allow me to lock down the database user for vbulletin.

Plus (and you don't know this of course) I have a lot more running on that admin machine than just the vbulletin forum. That machine also runs the monitoring for instance. I hang out of the admin machine more than on for forum. For me it is more logical to have all that on one machine, while for most forums it is more logical to use the default setup of having admin tasks on the forum machine as well.
