On the third hand, the remote management bug could be exploited remotely without user intervention, via a process that was not only always running by default, but required for the Service Manager UI to work. Yours was a fine example, but this one was even worse. At least most windows machines aren't running IIS by default. And if you turn IIS off you don't lose basic, LOCAL, admin functionality. My point is that level of insanely promiscuous entanglement of things that ought to be separate has simply never existed on UNIX, nor Linux, nor OS X. -- Scott Ribe [email protected] http://www.elevated-dev.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
