Maybe I'll switch to your method. =-) Hiding it from them has the nasty habit of malfunctioning in most unfortunate ways. I'm not going to be silly and claim that my scripts work anywhere near as well as I would like (command line switches, etc.), but someone with some time and energy to spend could certainly do a nicer job. Since Solaria's emphasis is on being a public access UNIX site, rather than an ISP, the assumption I made was that most people on the system were actually interested in learning UNIX. :-) That probably isn't the case with your typical ISP. ...
