But, my friends have frieds..and so on, that I don't know and don't neccisarily trust. I want to be safe, and was wondering about maybe, common mistakes I might make to cause a hole. A second question has there been any holes with the passwd/shadow system running on BSD? Any ideas would greatly be appreciated.
