TALK: ACK! (shell script vs. C code)

sorry folks... the filter will have to wait just a LITTLE bit longer... i
ran the shell script filter since last night... and it ran pretty well,
BUT, it seems to be a major security loop-hole in this system (i.e. people
can use it to by-pass security here). although this may be ascii-art, i'm
not allowed to run a feature like this if it's that big of a backdoor,
esp. to this account... i'm takin' it down until i can rewrite it in C
code... (this will be done DEFINATELY by wednesday... i have some work to
get done until then... sorry folks, once again... btw: who was the
off-campus user who was sendin' e-mail this mornin'? i should've kept log
files... 5:1 it's the scarecrow... :)
