Hi, IMO RT has only one chance: Make it as secure as you can and tell the
people about it, why and how you have done it. Than give them the choice to
change it, on their own responsibility. I can't understand comapnies
delivering products with relaxed or even complete open security models...
that's what we call "Grob Fahrlaessig" in Germany. Don't allow anything by
default and let the user choose what to do. Robert
