And a voice came forth from the heavens (did I say the heavens? I meant the back woods of Tennessee): Its better if we do not include a whole lot of suspicious looking "stealth" code in Freenet. Rather, we could propose suggestions on how to be a paranoid operator. Third parties could always write such stuff too. Removing freenet is quite simple in Unix: wipe -r /usr/share/freenet See the wipe entry on freshmeat. Its quite a nice program. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
