Is this what your argument boils down to -- *Your* users don't have a 'Need to Know' (to use the Pentagon expression). Maybe I prefer to encourage my users to learn as much as they will about the system.

Maybe that's why I use a system that has freely available source code. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
