distributed.net and seti@home

Hello.

I have seen many reports of insecurities of ICQ, and while this is A Good
Thing, a program that would likely be in use on more computers is
distributed.net's rc5 (or other) programs, or seti@home's client. They are
often installed by default on server farms, lab machines, as well as
countless home machines.

Has anyone taken a close look at these programs? I sure haven't. It might be
a good thing to check on... :)
