"I would be very suspicious of any binary I was asked to run, unless I compiled it myself." Really? I guess you must be running Gentoo then, and even then bootstrapped your own compiler from hand-written assembler in order to get the initial gcc working from code you trust. There are times when you just have to trust a binary whether you like it or not. Reflections on Trusting Trust has a valuable take on the issue. Paul
