To your point, I would think you want that regardless. I certainly don't mean to pile on the kernel.org guys, but it was compromised and likely through a user account. I'm confident that this is a very rare occurrence, but it can happen again. There was another somewhat high profile hack earlier in the year against vendor-sec as well. Maybe asking for some extra warm fuzzies from now on wouldn't be a horrible idea as general practice. I will now await a reply full of the cold pricklies. josh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
