   By 'network' I mean what Hamachi calls a 'network' i.e. its a name and   
   a password and anyone with the name and password can join the group   
   and exchange traffic via Hamachi with anyone else who has succesfully   
   joined the network. If you don't know the name&password then you   
   can't join and hence exchange any traffic. Thus 10 users can only   
   successfully log onto the same network if they all have the password.   
   In your case I'm suggesting you you define a network per user   
   (technically per pair that want to talk) so that it is never possible   
   for more than two users -- you and the other user you give the   
   password to -- to connect to that network. That way, if you want to   
   stop a user being able to connect to you, you just change the password   
   for the 'network' you originally gave them access to (or alternately   
   block them from joining -- I think I saw mention of that feature in   
   Hamachi >= 1.0 or perhaps the premimum version).
