It indeed IS worrying... but there are some more worrying things at the 
moment. like the tty / sata problem nobody seems to care about... there 
is a work around, just like with firestarter, but there doesn't seem to 
be anyone interested in fixing it in the distribution... strange.

Excellent. That way you at least know that your connection will be 
protected even when firestarter is updated and the firestarter.sh is 
replaced with another one :)

Cheers,
