He proved himself very helpfull already. You thought that about me, too. (And you were still correct. I did not act maliciously, I just didn't do what you thought I'd do.) By the time you know what someone will do with your server, it is too late. And remember, I made it really obvious what I'd done; someone else may well not. Oh, and as to privilege escalation... there have been exploits found in various applications, but the biggest one *ever* is the social attack. It'd be VERY easy for Steven to get access, put a file in his home directory, ask you to run it as root, and give himself full access. And how would you know what that script does? You are incompetent at managing a Linux system. You would be compromised faster than an unpatched XP. ChrisA
