I cringe at the thought of computers that by default broadcast a message like "Hey moron! You need to totally update me with security updates" while sitting.. idling...with the operator away from the display..just waiting for someone to walk by and to note that the computer the display is attached to is in a vulnerable state. Information leakage isn't really a good idea. I don't even want to see the Operating system version being display if at all possible, certainly not uptime or kernel version or whether the machine is security patched in a screensaver. -jef -- Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
