Paul gave an advice which the OP can use or drop to his own needs. I |
6 |
personally am gratefull that there are people like him that inform others |
7 |
about these situations. If the OP has a valid reason for mailing as root, |
8 |
then he will certainly *not* be offended by Paul's mail. And if he didn't |
9 |
know about the security concerns, he will probably be gratefull for the |
10 |
comment, or in the worst case ignore it. |

Nevertheless, even if it was off-topic and probably should be mailed in |
13 |
person instead of the mailinglist, it is still constructive. |

Thanks to DRM, you know that something has been built in environment of |

unspecified degree of security, from source you cannot check, written by |
21 |
programmers you don't know, released after passing QA of unknown quality and |

which is released under a license that disclaims any responsibility... |
