Should they get AMK> broken into, tough?" My interpretation of Theo's e-mail that he sent out. "You need to get version 3.3 that was just released and could be really broken for your distro, spend a great deal of time fixing some of it to hopefully reduce the potential damage, lose functionality that some people may rely on, require people to modify the way their working systems are configured, and it will still contain the same hole as the version you currently have, but hopefully version 3.3 will help keep it from getting owned. We won't tell you what's actually wrong so that you can fix it though. Once you are all done this we will then tell you what was wrong and we will release yet another version that you can then spend the time doing what you just did all over again. Have a nice day." Oh and..."I don't like Alan Cox and Red Hat because they question my godhood." I think Theo has done some great work, but his attitude is rarely appreciated in the OSS community outside of OpenBSD.
