Yet another fix, to prevent attacks using world writable files.
It think this version covers all the security issues. But who knows,
UNIX and C are a security minefield.
I invite code review, but I don't have time for ng trolls; if you have
concerns, email me. My real email address is in this post, and on the
ftp site.

In short, this continues to be totally off-topic to at least some of these
groups, and continues to reveal that you're just plain not the right guy
to write one of these even if there were a need, which there doesn't seem to
be.

Might I recommend learning the language and becoming familiar with the
environment before trying to write a program for UNIX and C which,
by design, needs to be written by someone experienced and capable of
writing secure code?

I doubt it. When people have pointed out to you, with clear evidence, that
your posts were off-topic, you've responded with derision and dismissal. It
seems unlikely that you are genuinely interested in code review.

Which is odd, because you are one.

So you can lie about what was said? No, I don't think so.
I looked at the code. It's not fixable, because your fundamental design
is just plain incoherent. You don't understand the problem space, meaning
you can't design a solution that makes sense. Add on a bunch of cargo-cult
behavior and a clear demonstration or three that you don't understand the
mechanisms you're using, and all that's left is the spam.
