Obviously. But that doesn't excuse blatant errors like this from a professional developer working for a company with a serious online presence. This is not a case of having to be a "perfect programmer" to prevent external influence of your content. This is web-dev 101. If they're this bad, I have no reason to trust the rest of their site. Let's sum up some of their recent bonehead decisions: - Simple form injection through URL tampering - Inability to delete user accounts in RHN - Expiration of up2date certificates - Questionable perl-suid package dependency for Perl errata - Lack of SOHO-style errata support (I know, be patient...) Ok, I'm off my soapbox. But that felt damn good. ;-) -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
