[thelist] insecurity complex

Is it on a free server? does the servar allow CGI scripts or PHP or any
other server side language? telnet access? Does it matter if the sysadmins
see it? Is there no index page in the directory?

If none of these issues exist I would say it is more or less ok... but I
would password protect it or encrypt it.

Cheers,
Mike
