* FLAME ON *
Now, do you read this list or not? I can remember it being stated at
least once that this patch does *NOT* require a reboot. And if you really
knew what you're doing, you would see immediately that telling INSTALL
to replace SECURESHR is all that is necessary to activate it.

On another tack, I just can't imagine a computer which is not available
for a reboot (i.e. at worst 15 minutes) at some scheduled time, let's say
3 o'clock on a nice Saturday morning. So please save us this destructive
moan about your users!

* FLAME OFF *

It's just that I prefer to know about the security holes (hole? Lake Baikal!)
and, even more important, of a way to fix them as soon as possible. And the
speed of DEC's software distribution being what it is ...:-)
