Yes. It will probably work just fine for the foreseeable future, as long as the input validation of rules files is lenient. It isn't beyond the realm of possibility that someday we'll tighten up syntax checking. We've had security issues in the past which involved the hypothetical potential to sneak in malicious code via rules. I don't expect that we'll have another one bad enough to make a rewrite of the config parser justified, but it could happen, and I don't think we'd design it today as it was done 20 years ago. -- Bill Cole b...@scconsult.com or billc...@apache.org (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) Not Currently Available For Hire
