brian, you didn't really leave anything out hehe .. for the average user,
or rather, anyone using linux as a workstation .. there's only 3 real keys
to keeping your box secure. disable any services that aren't to be used,
get that firewall setup, and keep your software up to date. :)

Thank you all for your help. As it turns out removing the setuid bit of
the executable helped but the program hung.
When I have time I will try the other suggestions and let you know what
if any worked
Thank you,

Hello all, Keith here in the Depths of the Great Bergen Swamp

Hi, Keith,
OK, I know exactly what is happening. What it is asking for is the

provided with Caldera OpenLinux 2.4 is very, very limited. It doesn't like
your FAT32 partition. You're trying to shrink your Windows par
foolish and dangerous it is to
rely on closed-source software for any security-critical use.
As the security advantages of open source become clearer, managers who
persist in this mistake may find they are putting their own jobs at
risk. And deserving to lose them...
