That was what I was thinking when I said "routers and phones". I didn't say "servers" because those have, like, more than 2MB of nonvolatile storage & RAM, so whinging that you need to waste 128kiB on some stupid agent, is less defensible. Hm, mental note: check what level of trust verification opkg in OpenWRT actually performs. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-main
