Nah. Too obvious. Say, how many email messages have we seen on this thread? The subject line notwithstanding, this is not about a security hole in FreeBSD. The hole is elsewhere. In any event, I'm going to start deleting unread all mail whose subject is "Security hole in FreeBSD"; so, if anyone wishes to report or discuss an actual security hole in FreeBSD, I would be most appreciative if you would use a different subject line for that mail. Thanks in advance. Jim Shankland Flying Fox Computer Systems, Inc.
