How exactly is it sensitive? If I'm able to run code on the box I can find ruby, via rbconfig.rb or traversing the filesystem. On the other hand, if I had a non-ruby vector for getting into your machine, I'm sure there's lots of other stuff I'd compromise before I got around to messing with your ruby installation. _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
