My only argument was that rarpd is not used very much these days, but since most of the bugs are normally found by using some software, the likelihood that somebody experiences, finds, and fixes bugs in something like rarpd is less than e.g. for a bug in the VM system that corrupts all our files... -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
