Re: setting of secure mode in config.ps

Hi all,

I sent the followwing email to tetex-pretest but I 
got no reply yet.  (Sorry if I overlooked it)

But we got several bugs on this issue so I would like
to know what is the correct fix.

I checked the latest teTeX-texmf-beta-20021116 but it is
the same.  If there is any my misunderstanding ?
