That's sort of a loaded question. Everything *can* be compromised, somehow. Is this a risky thing to have on a public-facing box? Again, the answer is "it depends on your security needs", but for most of my boxes, the answer is "no, this is not excessively risky." good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- Satan laughs when we kill each other.
