I ran this thing 20 times, with and without the -harder option, and it did absolutely nothing to my box. Just goes to show, these things generally constitute fairly apocryphal evidence without a lot more details. Also, just for the record, people have attacked freefall many times. Just because someone said he was going to nuke you one day and it worked (and I have no idea how seriously well-maintained your systems are from a security fascist's perspective) is by no means an indication that it works every time or in every circumstance. :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
