I was just wondering about the caveat in that access(2) man page that says that access is a potential security hole and should never be used, and the fact that ipfw calls it on line 2435. I seem to recall a discussion about this a few months ago, but I don't really remember the details... and the irony of ipfw calling a documented "should never be used" function got my attention. Is this really a problem, or is the man page paranoid? Thanks -- Chad David davidc@acns.ab.ca ACNS Inc. Calgary, Alberta Canada I applied the patch twice, and it still doesn't work!
