[Steve Lime]

I'll take that as a +0 now...

Hi Jeff

I just can't imagine how this should increase any security ... Anyway,
if people can crack the pentagon (was in the news today) they can crack
my dumb servers 1'000 times - with our without that keyword ... :-( ...
and as far as I read, it did not concern MapScript anyway. So just old
Morissette bugging me ;-) - something he likes a lot.

Mit freundlichem Gruss / Best Regards
Flavio Hendry
