From: Root Boy Jim? How about a more portable and safe version? Comments follow. I have some further comments about my previous comments. I received private mail stating that perhaps I was too hard on Randy. I do not wish to discourage Randy and other novice posters from posting source. However, I do feel that any posting having anything to do with security should be on a higher level than other postings. Please construe my comments as they were intended; as helpful hints and suggestions to make the program better and more usable to a wider audience. ? ?
