Thanks for the link! (Wow, foreshadowing of virus infections via email attachments...) But is there any way in which Mozilla's print-to-postscript is _less_ safe than using gv to open up a random PostScript file found somewhere on the Internet? Or are the two equally insecure? If the latter, then does it make sense to turn off postscript printing without also removing gv and other PS viewers from Debian? I admit this last question is a bit rhetorical. My point is that, as sysadmin of a physics cluster running Debian/woody on which people frequently look at downloaded PS files anyway, I want to know whether it is really worth my time to upgrade Mozilla [currently running 1.4 from Adrian Bunk's backports], install Xprint from unstable, and go through the apparently non-trivial task of getting it to work well. By the way, is PDF also Turing-complete with the accompanying security issues? regards, -- Kevin B.
