It looks as though I will have to stick with version 2.11 of Exim, or else
build from source instead of a Debian package, so that I can keep the ipv6

How does one actually password protect lilo?
In the man page, this is mentioned but no examples are given, so all I know is
that the word "restricted" goes someplace in lilo.conf and then
password= but should I then chmod 600 lilo.conf? If not, the
password will just be there for all to see.
