But OpenBSD's concept of security is about as useful as Windows 95 unplugged from the Internet and a piece of tape stuck on the floppy drive. OpenBSD turns off all services, what good is that? Are you telling me that somehow every time I switch mouse focus to an xterm I should be asked to enter a password? Becuase I can see that being a security issue just as much as a security issue virtual consoles is. regards Dev Mazumdar ----------------------------------------------------------- 4Front Technologies 4035 Lafayette Place, Unit F, Culver City, CA 90232, USA.
