paranoid security

[Eric Gilliland]

I am planning to run the InteractiveBastille tonight after work.  I'm not 
sure your confidence that I know best what should be turned on and off is 
deserved, but I'll try.  I will read all the info I can find on Bastille 
before I start.  I may send out a(nother) frantic call for help.

Thanks,

Eric
