    On 2017 Mar 29 23:35:52, you wrote to me:   
      
    BR>  ml { over here... this is also one reason why the MOD UPDs for these   
   areas   
    BR>  ml { have had a empty RUL line in them for the last decade+... with the   
    BR> old ml { system, they would have been flushed after some period of time of   
    BR> not ml { being updated by a MOD RUL...   
      
    BR> My current efforts are to allow .RUL files where needed. I haven't thought   
    BR> out the whole process yet. All I know is with the old Echobase 3.48 the   
   Mod   
    BR> Rul submissions VERY often crashed EB and corrupted the Database beyond   
    BR> repair, so I dropped the little used Rule sub-system from EList v4   
   entirely   
    BR> at first.   
      
   the main thing i was pointing out is that those files need to be removed and   
   should have been a long time ago...   
      
   i don't know if i'll start sending rule files to the echolist again or not...   
   reading over what you wrote about them in another message, i have numerous   
   concerns but i'm not sure when/if i'll have time to write them down for you...   
   the main thing, though, is security and what happens if someone drops off a   
   file with an existing name that shouldn't be dropped off by them... in other   
   words, someone pretending to be authorized to drop off that particular file...   
   kinda rings of the heyday's packet injection mess...

   Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it   
   wrong...   
   ... All things squat and ugly.
