I really don't think so. I think the unix 'folks' are more used to being a little more careful. IE I would _never_ run something sent via email, if it were possible to automate it. I'm simply not that trusting. But it is a matter of 'upbringing' no doubt. >(2) I already wrote that average user would login as the administrator -- please >read below.

On our 250+ unix hosts here, there are only two of us that even _know_ the root password. But in any case, news: I now have 120 gigs of disk ready. I will finish setting up the new ftp machine Monday, although it may take another day to get it online, as it is also our usenet news server and phasing that over takes a bit of time to get everything synchronized shortly there will be a 120gig partition for databases... hopefully by Tuesday at the latest.
