I don't buy this argument. Well made GUI's contain a lot of knowledge, more than what you can expect even from an experienced user. Encouraging/enforcing a proper security policy isn't that hard in a GUI (e.g. make a "-maproot=root" option blinking red) and very likely enhances the average level of security. It's just a matter of being conservative enough. Markus - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dipl. Ing.
