No you are not, and avoid doing it if at all possible. All of those programs offer advanced levels of access to your system and are "holy" as all hell!!

I apologize in advance for bring up an issue that has probably been disscussed many times before. I've been doing desktop support for about 20 macs and never really had to worry about network security, but I began some classes in networks and find network security very interesting. Since the new OS is presenting some interesting discussions about security, I thought I should begin somewhere and soon. Many of my users use ICQ, IRC, AOL, IM at home, and I've been really reluctant to install them on their work stations. Am I just being paranoid? Thanks, -- Jeannine M.
