I don't think it would be good to post password files from stanford
or the old root passwords. I'm sure things have changed since then.
Thank goodness.
I think the point of your statements is that perhaps it's not standard
to have multiple root entries just as you shouldn't export your
filesystems to the world. If you know what you're doing, then it
doesn't really matter unless someone comes along who doesn't know
what they're doing. Gee, I'm saying the exact same thing. Perhaps
people come along that just don't know how to deal with the source.
I'm sorry, but I have to consult for people who have their own "root"
access, but who don't know to do much more than vi html files. These
people are not the ones trying to compile qmail, etc., but there are
some people who are trying to progress from just about that level and
they are getting confused with the lack of documentation in qmail.

ps: the issue is not that I can't get qmail to compile -- I can.
I can't get the rbl patches to apply -- but I was told that they
were superceded with rblsmpt. Fine, I can apply the patches
by *hand*, but that's a lot of work. So, I'll go with rblsmtpd
(and now tcpserver just for rblsmtpd). No problem. It does compile
(and I guess install) since the installs don't ever seem to output
any information.
