I'm beginning to suspect "massive security problem."I'm going have to create and test a preseed file so someone else can duplicate what I'm doing. I've been reading about preseeding but haven't actually done it yet. I'm doing things that a likely very atypical, but I believe legal. I'm seeing other unexpected things.
