Okay, my question was rather tongue-in-cheek. But the issue it's
intended to raise is the matter of "trust" in software: If the O.P. is
willing to trust an externally-supplied JVM, Java compiler, operating
system, and BIOS, the ban on "outside software" is obviously not
absolute. If it's not absolute, there must be some procedure,
somewhere, that declares "THIS outside software is acceptable; THAT
outside software is not." And (here's the exciting conclusion) if the
allowed/forbidden procedure bans rsync and its sixteen years of
development history in favor of a not-yet-written, not-yet-debugged,
not-even-designed half-hearted home-grown imitation, ... Well, the
procedure may have found an anatomically unlikely place to put its head.
