Hmm, well as i recall Dr. Throop only put snippets of his code in that
presentation, but i'd assume he took the necessary precautions.
Personally, i'm not sure i'm ever going to implement any web

interface would perform :) ), but you do have me curious...what kinds
of security implications are you talkign about?
