Hi,
I finally got some time to sit down and look at the issue closely. I
agree the source of the DeleGate isn't really secure.
Here's my proposal.
1. Define NO_PACKAGE so that the CD-ROM and the FTP won:t include the
package. And this will require the users to do ``make install'' if
they want to use DeleGate on their machines.
2. When a user simply types ``make'' or ``make install'' or whatever,
show something like:
**********************************************************************
* WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! *
* This program has known security problems. *
* It is strongly recommended that you do not use this program. *
* *
* If you would like to use this program despite the danger, *
* run make with ``FORCE_BUILD=YES''. *
**********************************************************************
3. If a user runs make with ``FORCE_BUID=YES'', build/install the
program with some security warining at the pre-build time as well
as post-install time.
What do people think?
Cheers,
Max
