USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. BEWARE OF DOG. SLIPPERY WHEN WET. This code also needs an owner in order to be less dangerous - serious hackers can apply by sending mail to hackers@freebsd.org and announcing their intent to take it over. ---- Is this serious? If I only use it for read-only purposes, is it still buggy? I want to use it for getting things outside a jail available for chroot'ed ftpusers, and they should only have read access, so if that works, it would be nice. But if there really is a chance of dataloss, I will of course not use it. Anyone who can comment on this?
