You're right. That is a valid argument. I had to just take a moment and recall the vicious telnet bug that shipped on the Sol 10 ( update 2 ? ) CDROM and DVD media. To not have access to the patch for a security flaw would be criminal. There must be a middle ground where the engineering operations are sustained with revenue and the security patches ( or similar critical gas pedal issues ) are avail but everything else has a fee. -- Dennis Clarke dcla...@opensolaris.ca <- Email related to the open source Solaris dcla...@blastwave.org <- Email related to open source for Solaris
