I don't intend to get sucked into yet another incarnation of the security religious war that at any given moment is going on in at least 5 newsgroups somewhere (and has been since the dawn of Usenet). So let me just answer this way, and request that I be dropped from the cc line of all followups. There are degrees of risk and there are degrees of trust. There are also problems that CVSup can solve and problems that it cannot solve. I choose to solve the problems that I can solve, and waste as little time as possible discussing those which I cannot solve. -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
