That's <cough> productive commentary. Seems to me we can head all of this off pretty easily, guys. All it takes is an install option: Relative Paranoia Julian here can select "take away all the safeguards" mode. :) Personally, I'll probably select "as secure as is practical without seriously getting in my way". Those "Anal, useless, whining security idiots" out there can select "wholly paranoid" mode. Now, can we leave the ad hominem attacks out of this and get on with it? :) Regards, Garth. -- Garth T Kidd <garth@netapp.com> Network Appliance: Systems Engineer, Australia & NZ Fast. Simple.
