nope.  actually i've never used it, never looked at it, never even been
to the web site, never read any security-related news about it.

just throwing it out their as bait.  i'll stfu now :-)

so anyway, to the dude who mentioned RCS:

RCS was okay... CVS is better... on intranets, i'm actually fairly
happy with CVS. it has its problems, but i don't ever work in 
development groups over,
say, 20... i imagine those problems would get ugly on larger projects... 
i usually
just use CVS on NFS filesystems since our home directories are all fed 
via NFS.

CVSROOT=/home/CVS


development on the internet, however, is a different story.   you kinda
need server-based version control.  and if anyone and their brother can get
to the server's port, then it's pretty much fair game for hacking...

my sympathies to all those owned source trees...

oh, and my sympathies to all those (including me) who are more than
likely using software with owned source trees. so i'll throw out a 
question here:

what can we do to lock down our intranets with the assumption that even
the OSes on our own networks can't be trusted?
