You can't attack a compiler, it's not accessable from the outside. The only reason I can think of in regards to not installing a compiler is a simple one: If you don't need it, don't install it. On our webservers, we definetly need no compiler, so it's not installed. Does that increase security? No. Apart from the fact that you shouldn't install / run things you don't need on production systems :) ./Marian iD8DBQFEV2oOgAq87Uq5FMsRApM+AJ9vCVGvOQdIYu77fLMWkMo66ss6yQCgyoBV flxd/ClKy6tBfZPpUS/Vmjk= =XQE9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
