You miss the point; we NT admins/users don't have to
fall for it ... it's already done for us by the OS. You
(unix?) guys are being trusted to do the right thing.
We cannot be trusted.

Not wishing to enter the fray on something I don't know anything about, but
a CAD system administrator once described the compete UNIX system as a virus
and should be deleted before it does irreparable damage to your system.
P.S. The company is now running Windows NT.

I think he was talking about the CAD system administrator's
viruses...apparently there is some new cream down at the clinic to clean
those guys up....no need to delete them... ;^)

Thats odd ... my database consultant usually refers to Windows (*.*)
as "that virus masquerading as a OS"

We are still running the '95 version of the M$ virus OS.
