Care to make it interesting? Security holes are not a fact of life. Security holes come from being ignorant, having poor / sloppy coding skills and not being mindful of security. It is not difficult to write secure code in a scripting language. If I was not certain that I could write secure applications, then I would be looking for a new line of work. > consider this: > the openbsd hackers pride themselves in secure code... they code audit > everything before it can be used. one could argue that they are > security experts. Consider this: qmail, one of the most widely deployed MTAs, has never had a security hole. It was first released in January of 1996. -- David Phillips <david at acz.org> http://david.acz.org/ _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
