Repeating my point again, an admin doesn't have to audit and fix every program that he uses on a server. An admins job is to apply the fixes and patches among other things. Iam sure most of the competent admins here dont really audit the code of the program they use. Hope this clears my point of view :). cheers dushyanth -- "Just because the hole is rectangular doesn't mean you can push squares through it." -- Mike DeMaria, explaining why you don't put a floppy disk in a zip drive. http://symonds.net/~dushy ------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
