Re: a small C program to test xdm's /dev/mem reading on your architecture

ev/mem doesn't sound very secure at all (even if it works) because the patterns in the memory of a computer are probably predictable and a lot of information can be observed from the outside (which processes are running etc). Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.' GNU http
