Hello Martin - 

CA>> fwiw: You aparently missed messages where I mentioned that
CA>> I have two Linux installs on another machine. Probably not
CA>> _your_ 'distro' but they are both working Linux installs. 

MA> Perhaps you should inform me what installations you have.
MA> It might be fun to compare notes. 

Slackware but I would have more 'fun' discussing OBERON. 

CA>> I've also installed and rewritten parts of OBERON to get
CA>> it to connect to the internet. Have you installed OBERON
CA>> on your machine? S'matter chicken? 

MA> One of the tactics used by people who have argued them
MA> selves into a corner and can no longer defend their
MA> position is to change the subject. 

I'm not changing the subject. Your niche OS is Linux, one of
mine is OBERON. 

MA> I don't know what OBERON is. I have never said i did. I
MA> don't care what it is and if you have been playing with the
MA> code there is a 99.999 percent chance i will never install
MA> it. 

Don't try, you might learn something. 

MA> I think the subject is security and operating as root on a
MA> Linux system. 

You confuse FIDO with marriage. I can discuss anything I chose
to. ;-) 

MA>> Try talking about something you know about and not
MA>> something you wished you knew about. I'm not going
MA>> anywhere. Bring it on you twit. Tell me how i can
MA>> compromise the internet by being root in such a way i
MA>> can't do it as a user or shut up and stop making a fool of
MA>> yourself. 

Let me guess, you're the 90 lb weakling with a keyboard? 

CA>> Sure. Once you are 'rooted' the hackers can install/modify
CA>> your system to be anything they want it to be. 

MA> So let me get this straight. First they penetrate my fire
MA> wall then they somehow negotiate my spam filter taking
MA> control of my computer and wreak havoc on the internet. Are
MA> you on some kind of medication or been indulging in Mary
MA> dyou wanna? 

Why not move this to the LINUX echo where you can explain to
the rest of the Linux users that you alone can operate as root
24/7 safely and have no reason to worry about doing this?
