Hey Jonathan, I got your point man, and your are completely right. It was not my objective to start a security discussion over all aspects of LFS's security, I knew that this could lead in a loose of focus. But now I got what you mean and understood how the projects deals with these issues. Tha

Do you have a running tally on this thread so-far, Alexander? I know, some 30 replies hardly counts as a cross-section of the LFS community, but at least it's a start by people who care to speak up so far. I considered providing my own results but it seems I put an X in just about every categor
