Then your security was breached already, and has nothing to do with speakup. Personally, I think it's far worse for security to let a user have access to any and every mail client on the system, in case they use it to spam the entire planet with it, and those are left wide open on purpose. <shrugs> You don't see me clamping down restrictions on those, just because someone *might* abuse them and lose me my internet connection. If it's a virus, then it's not SpeakUP's problem, but mine for not following proper prophylactic procedures. If it's a user on the system goofing off, first they get warned, then they lose their accounts. Again, it's not SpeakUP's fault. Having access to SpeakUP from any console under any account *is* my problem, and I don't want to go thru 20 different steps, just to kick up the volume a notch on my own friggin keyboard. I certainly don't want to have to go through 20 different steps every time I need to su to someone else to check if something is working properly for them. Secure SpeakUP on your own, create your own distro, and release that if you want. Stay out of my computer. Michael
