I'm setting up a menuing system for some users, and I am vvery, very new to programming and even newer to FreeBSD.. The reason why I want to post it here, is not for programming tips (plenty of those will be obvious I am sure) but for any advice on possible security problems I might create. If this is a problem, just say so. I realize people have to download these articles over a telephone line, 2 or 3 pages shouldnt be long, but hey, I'm a newbie and trying to tread lightly! :) Thanks John
