If you have no idea, user (i.e. script) can do _anything_, I mean easily damage startup shell even without evil intentions. You know example - apache13. We need minimal protection, separating base scripts level and ports scripts level, I mean executing them in the subshells. There is rc.local (or a like) to do something with startup shell locally, not from inside ports system. -- Andrey Chernov | http://ache.pp.ru/Received on Sat Jul 31 2004 - 13:06:05 UTC
