It's not even about trusting you or not, it's about a very, very high risk one would expose himself. There is no perfect security, every server can be hacked one day - yours too. Please stop suggesting things that could make things worse for a lot of people.
Sounds just like the Rules du Jour situation to me. {^,-} And you CAN
read the script and figure out what it does, if you want.
FWIW I don't use Rules du Jour myself, either. I'm too lazy to switch
over to it. I built mine while RdJ was being developed, or that's what
it seemed like at the time. Mine's a fairly straightforward bash script.
If anyone else wants it I might doubt their good sense; but, I'd send it
to them no strings, if it breaks you get to keep the pieces. That said
I don't THINK it would break.
{O.O}
