What security issues are you referring to? Incidentally I wrote a shared object to support changing the apparent time which was actually useful for such tasks as Y2K testing and running demo software. Getting it to change the time() library call was easy, changing the time stamp on files that were written was more painful. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
