Precisely why I made the comment, the other day, about not getting packages from personal websites, where nobody will have vetted them, compared against the official sources, where they're *far* less likely to be compromised. Unless you stuff up your YUM configuration, it's preset to check the signatures of packages. So only officially signed package will be installed. It'll take quite some effort, not impossible, but very difficult, to get a signed compromising package into the repos. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
