In general, its safer to plan a system to be as inherently secure as possible rather than trying to chase the bugs as they arise. If you eliminate suid programs, access to dangerous devices, and the capacity to leave programs around for you the administrator to execute (i.e. trojan horses), you've gone a long way towards making your system inherently secure. Almost all defects in the security of public access sites lie in one of these things, or in an obvious hole like bad file permissions. Perry
