no... generally speaking, known and unknown pertain to if the session is
secure or not... if you are not using a session password between your
system and alan's, you might should consider setting one up... the reason
for this is because i can set up a system to fly someone else's node number
and poll you... if there's mail there for that number, i'll probably get
it... if you have a session level password set up, i won't know it and my
connection will fail so the mail will be safe...

When you've killed all the bad guys, and when it's all perfect, and just
and fair, and when you have finally got it exactly the way you want it,
what are you going to do with the people like you? The trouble makers. How
are you going to protect your glorious revolution from the next one?"
