This seems suspicious to me, as well. This appears to be the first-ever post from the sender's email address. With this community, we are very fortunate to not have many "anonymous" users/posters, and those that contribute to the community (ie: with development, answers, free and/or commercial PKGs, etc) always post with an identifiable name, company name and domain. This post came from (a) a "disposable" email address; (b) an anonymous poster; (c) a first-time poster, and (d) an unknown poster, from a dynamic IP address (where the "website" is also hosted) on a DSL line in Japan. There are too many red flags. Stay away. We always welcome contributions and innovations. But don't go blindly installing PKGs or RPMs unless you've thoroughly checked them out. Who knows what installing this RPM might actually do to your box. (Note: I'm not saying the package is bad, just that I wouldn't trust it.) Please, make sure that you TRUST your source before installing a PKG. If in doubt, ask around on this list. -- Chris Gebhardt VIRTBIZ Internet Services Access, Web Hosting, Colocation, Dedicated www.virtbiz.com | toll-free (866) 4 VIRTBIZ _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list [email protected] http://www.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
