This Hmm. If this is along the lines of: ************************************** ** WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!! ** ************************************** THIS PORT CONTAINS KNOWN SECURITY HOLES WHICH ALLOW A REMOTE ATTACKER TO EASILY TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR MACHINE. YOU INSTALL THIS PORT AT YOUR OWN RISK!! DON'T COME CRYING TO US IF YOU GET ROOTED BECAUSE OF INSTALLING THIS PORT. Do you want hackers to be able to take remote control of your machine? (y/N): then I guess I have no problem with it :-) Kris ---- "How many roads must a man walk down, before you call him a man?" "Eight!" "That was a rhetorical question!"
