As answered on IRC, but repeated here for others benefits my belief is that if it adds value to the project then it should be included. Lots of people run the agent as root and would benefit from such code. Security-wise folk may even want to use the code, but move it to an agentx subagent where it can be at least isolated a bit. -- Wes Hardaker Please mail all replies to [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
