-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This reminds me of beginning cryptology classes where almost everyone comes up with an "unbreakable encryption routine" which is quickly shown to be an elementary and extremely easy "code" to break. Programs in linux that do not do such neat things as protect files from corruption, free up or hold memory when needed and otherwise provide security features are objectionable to me. Too many crashes when there is no security. Fast fingers are a programmers worst enemy. Security features limits the damage they can do.
