The goal wasn't to "stop" that person. It's not a security or privacy issue. The goal was to avoid having people stumble into it unwittingly because of generic features that are intended to support other platforms. If someone drives off the deep end and adds code as you suggest without even bothering to contact the community that created the code, well, they'll probably get everything they deserve. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
