In short, this continues to be totally off-topic to at least some of these groups, and continues to reveal that you're just plain not the right guy to write one of these even if there were a need, which there doesn't seem to be. > It think this version covers all the security issues.

Might I recommend learning the language and becoming familiar with the environment before trying to write a program for UNIX and C which, by design, needs to be written by someone experienced and capable of writing secure code? > I invite code review, I doubt it. When people have pointed out to you, with clear evidence, that your posts were off-topic, you've responded with derision and dismissal. It seems unlikely that you are genuinely interested in code review. > but I don't have time for ng trolls; Which is odd, because you are one. > if you have concerns, email me. So you can lie about what was said? No, I don't think so. I looked at the code. It's not fixable, because your fundamental design is just plain incoherent. You don't understand the problem space, meaning you can't design a solution that makes sense. Add on a bunch of cargo-cult behavior and a clear demonstration or three that you don't understand the mechanisms you're using, and all that's left is the spam. -s -- Copyright 2009, all wrongs reversed.
