Re: [amiga_sa] Re: security risk


I'm not 100% convinced that AWNPipe is a security risk.

the Report spoke of APIPE: , i do not know how APIPE got it's name but i bet the
'A' does not mean Aweb like it does in AWNPipe
(Aweb News Pipe)

the report said AWNPipe was a posibility but it did not sound like it had been
checked.
they might just have assumed they were similar as they both begin with the
letter 'A' ?

i am trying to check it out now but my mui is missing the toolbar.mcc so i
cannot run yam atm (i will fix it and test)
