cdvarn@m003.mystech.com (Chris Varner) wrot: >The bright side is that it doesn't work anyway -- actually doesn't have a >_prayer_ of working; and no, I copied it rather than executing it.. :-) I sent him email asking why he would say "it doesn't have a prayer of working" and he idicated I missunderstood the meaning of his post. What he means (in case anyone else was confused also) is that everyone probably looks at the script before they run it. I expect that is true. I agree that running some script off the net as root without knowing anything about the person or looking at the script is a dangerous thing. In any case, let me assure people that for many machine types it really is possible to just run a script and set up a new fileserver that gives you access to FTP files. -- Vince
