Re: [9fans] security

["Gabriel Diaz" <gabidiaz@gmail.com>]

hello

I think having someone thinking the way Don and Tim do could help in
general (actually it already helped isn't it?)

If from those thoughts a bug or security hole is fixed, great, may be
those thoughts sounds too paranoid, but i can't see why that's bad.

Of course that do not means everybody should think the same way, I
suppose Erik's point was to relax that paranoid, and return to the
path issue :-?

Change the path default value to (bin .)  looks like a painless change
(improvement :-?) and it will not broke anything, isn't it?

Discussing security on 9fans is funnier when related to plan9 more
directly than when trying to address "unsolvable" problems like the
user education :-)

slds.
