[techtalk] FP extensions

[moebius at ip-solutions.net]

Hey Nicci,
  Just got that issue in the mail 2 days ago which is why I want to check
it out. I feel as though the author just glossed over security with things
like chroot'd to the ftp server. I am a little more concered with the
underlying security of publishing to a website. Thanks for the heads-up
though.
Regards,
