I am afraid you have this completely backwards. You can't use idiotic programming to justify anything. http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=139715715931884&w=2 I am glad they are cleaning OpenSSL up http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20140418063443 Especially when what they have found is "very surprising" -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well. Write programs to work together. Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface' (Doug McIlroy) In Other Words - Don't design like polkit or systemd _______________________________________________________________________ I have no idea why RTFM is used so aggressively on LINUX mailing lists because whilst 'apropos' is traditionally the most powerful command on Unix-like systems it's 'modern' replacement 'apropos' on Linux is a tool to help psychopaths learn to control their anger.
