Hi all I have this smal question the man pages say not to use gets() because it can lead to security holes. According to them there is no way of knowing if the string exceds the Size of the array. So what. Why is that a security hole.
Part two has anyone tried gentoo linux. This one has a package manager of only source files. Meaning it compiles everything that is installed. If anyone has used it can anyone tell me where to get it. I am really keen to see how it works. part three guys no one told me how internationalisation works. The more I read about it more confused i get. there are all kinds of techno words utf8 unicode pot potfiles. What are all this. and what is gettext. I saw a pot file it has a list of tags. wherever there is some string used in the code is placed in them what could that mean! hum? gollum ================================================ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in subject header.
