You can do all kinds of mischief by overriding an (audited) system command with a user-level command (even appending is IMHO borderline dangerous till the usual infection/attack vectors, MUAs & browsers have not been taught to triple-check and flag anything going there) -- Nicolas Mailhot -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
