I had a misconfiguration during my first attempt to connect to the "volunteergrid" and had my "tub.location" set to a directory (/home/tahoe/data) instead of a hostname.

Unfortunately it looks like the introducer has remembered this misconfiguration and is unable to present its web interface: http://introducer.volunteergrid.org:8123/ currently says "<type 'exceptions.ValueError'>: unknown FURL prefix in 'pb://5el4pxsjpfi22zycs27wikrgaaxcn5jh@/home/tahoe/data/3mz2c7mmgsa6otlugokvv4ao4pu2h4eb'"

I would think the introducer should ignore bogus entries like this.

Huh, this is a serious bug (that any client can cause an introducer DoS, even unintentionally). Does it still exist?
