That /proc/speakup is a bad idea, I mean? You are creating artificial scenarios. Anything can be used or misused. So what, should we have nothing that uses /proc or can have its settings changed there? Should we, in fact, not allow any programs to run useful things because some evyl hacker (TM) might misuse it? Oh, I know, let's not allow anyone to do anything. Then your system will be really secure. Can't trust scripts--let's get rid of scripts, and scripting languages, OK? Gosh. I can't understand why anyone would be mad at you and not respond to your Emails. And if you find someone passing out free hardware (synth or otherwise), send them my way, OK? I'll take free stuff, although I will not, as a friend of mine will, take a spitting cobra if it's free. Thank you, drive through. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV | I choose you to take up all of my time.
