Your logic is false here. If the kernel maintainers and developers say don't compile as root and you do it anyways, That's your choice. But it is not the same thing as running the kernel. You may disagree but deliberately choosing not to follow the advice of the maintainer of a software package does not logically follow from your statement above. But again, this is a philosophical issue and now a technical one. Like I said before, if you want to change policy, take it up on lkml. Discussing it here will provide little if any benefit in changing how kernels are distributed from kernel.org. Now if you want to talk about Samba.... :-) cheers, jerry ===================================================================== Samba ------- http://www.samba.org Centeris ----------- http://www.centeris.com "What man is a man who does not make the world better?" --Balian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFAbiIIR7qMdg1EfYRAv3EAJ9FczjBUYULvIlAYelnrbJpKvk4lACfSHnu 2N1GtBaNNHlM5c+05rXc/ZU= =zlWk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
