The problem lies within the fact that if vendor-'X' wants to deply a software solution onto a system, they'll have to assume/hope that the administrator has set these limits (or even installed them). Additionally, each distribution/OS has it's own methods. Whilst I guess this is a case of "Lets blame the AV makers", the issue is that they [AV software developers] decided to put in automatic, recursive uncompression tools into their own software. I know NOD32 actually left uncompression _out_ of their software due to this matter. There are OpenSource limits testers as well. -- Paul L Daniels http://www.pldaniels.com Linux/Unix systems Internet Development ICQ#103642862,AOL:cinflex,IRC:inflex A.B.N. 19 500 721 806
