Actually, that's a good point - with so much more control and comms options, a hacker could conceivably do more damage to a forum than to a listserver! I guess that's the same as saying I could do more damage with a baseball bat than with a twig :) Given the same constraints and variables, a forum server is just as difficult to hack as the same listserver. And unless the admin login is encrypted, remote access theoretically gives more opportunity to gather plaintext logins. Mind you, so far there's been little evidence of hacker email account access via this method, despite hundreds of millions of mobile webmail users. But then, it's just a matter of time before that happens! (I have very low opinions of hackers (speaking as an ex-member), but much higher opinions of their persistence). These are all areas that need discussion, security-wise. -Pete _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
