Not telling everything does not equate lying - especially when what you are telling (or can tell) is true. And if all you have is an impression that he is not truthful, you conceed that you have no evidence to the contrary as well. I think you owe Paul Frields an apology.

I think you ought to read the book "The Cuckoo's Egg" by Clifford Stoll. Once you have read it and understood it, feel free to comment again on the issue at hand here. /Anders -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
