I should answer this when I am more awake and less stuffed with food and drink.
Plus trying to figure out the the glories of a plug and play (supposedly
backup). But they are useful, when one has a myriad of things to do and they
give you better access. So I would inquire if the person knew why they wanted
the shell account and act according. Probably the best policy. I routinely
avoid anything that won't give me me a shell account. PERL does do nice things,
and it was always nice to bounce in and out of the shell and check things out.
I just consider essential elsewise it's working with one hand tied behind your
back. Pure web hosting I agree with you 100%, mixed situation I respectfully
disagree. Lots of use for shell accounts, if one is more than a surfer.
Have Fun,
Sends Steve
