Useress

Ha! Foolish user (useress?)

This could be true ... but don't forget all the "lower" computers that are still out there. Just today I discovered a machine that still runs under DR DOS 6 and the useress worked with a DOS Wordprocessor, / can you imagine this ???

This is not really for an embedded forum, but if I may, I'd like to add that as the recent Happy99 virus demonstrated, it is possible to have a PC send EXE files with e-mails without the user knowing about it. Or at least, the common, not too observative user or useress.

(Note:) Sorry if I did not explicitely^([sic]) mention the "useresses" all the time -- I shoudl^([sic]) point out that when I have a Linux question, it is usually one of several women who has the answers....

Nevertheless that's a nice idea. But I'm afraid using configuration files off the net without checking is a security risk. The users and useresses should really first check the generated config file before using it! Or you should use secure connections to trusted institutions to generate them.
