I think I personally don't disagree with Theo, but I am confused about
the state of Privelage Seperation for people not running
(Open|NET)BSD... So it's a hard pill to swallow when the software is "a

from my vendor (in this case the FreeBSD core team) and firewalling my
box until that is available....
