Ugh! Sure it's dangerous - even so, I think it's a hugely regressive step to say I _shouldn't_ be able to do that. Feel free to default it that way, and make me do something to demonstrate that I understand the potential hazards, but Linux is not about holding people's hands so tight that they can't shoot themselves in the foot. (and, fwiw, Windows doesn't stop me executing .exes from the web - Windows _Policy_ administration can) -- derek -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
