I am behind a dd-wrt flashed router with no local firewalls running anyplace on this local net. No one has come past that that I didn't invite in, and I'm not doing a thing to get that security that the rest of you can't do, probably even better. So I don't worry about security, I worry about interoperability on my local network, but the way thats headed, there will not be the possibility of my ssh'ing into one of my other machines and doing a simple ls or pwd to see where I am. That IMO is not real security, but PARANOIA and should rightly be called as such. This os was originally able to ignore whether the key/mouse stroke came from its own keyboard, or one in Lisbon, Portugal. Or from this machine, 100+ feet of cat5 away. This is NOT an M$ single user system, so quit trying to restrict it to what a winders box can do. > You can hide any differences in how you obtain root by just wrapping > your command in a script, appropriate for each architecture/release. > Just one script to maintain if you use case or if/else.

Since the deb repo's went away, not much. I have 2 active lines left in my sources.list now. > Cheers, > David.
