No, you certainly don't answer to me for your time. And I have never expected you to "drop everything" and jump right on this. However, if you are willing to release something to the open source community, you should also be willing to take on the responsibility of providing ongoing support for it. Two years (bug reported 2007-06-08 - Bug-ID 5506) is too long to have not provided either a permanent fix for this issue or at least have incorporated or included the provided patch with your distribution. Currently, botnet users are left to spend time trying to figure out what is wrong with their systems whenever they opt to use the botnet plugin. Then they finally give up and come to the list for answers. This should not be the required procedure to gain proper and effective usage of your plugin. Anyway, that's all I have to say about this matter. Wherever you decide go with this from here is, as always, up to you... Bill
