[X4U] rixstep.com; and computer security discussion

[Wayne Clodfelter]

There is something here that may be of interest to others. I disclaim 
any relation with rixstep.com or other parties herein mentioned.
Basically, I downloaded a Mac freeware called CLIX some time ago, and 
subscribed to a related newsletter called CLIXchange. It is the 
newsletter that has brought to my attention various food for thought. 
This link appeared in a recent CLIXchange:

URL: http://rixstep.com/3/0/x03,037.rtx
   Username: Subscriber
   Password: Mac-X
(I copied and pasted text from this link into iData to wrap text. You 
may want to paste into a WP or other app of your choice to do the 
same.)

Follow this link to a discussion of security issues as it relates to 
system level file indexing and searching routines and logging of 
activities. I do not quote it here in the interest of saving bandwidth.

Mac users may want to visit rixstep.com. There is a bit of a radical 
edge to some of the postings, but as a whole, it is interesting if not 
informative.

A final disclaimer; user beware! I am not herein advocating use or 
purchase of any "wares" on these sites. I am merely bringing these 
sites to your attention fwiw.

I would like to hear from others who may be using CLIX or who have 
subscribed to (purchased) software from rixstep, as to what their 
experiences have been, and how they like/rate the software.
Regards,

Wayne Clodfelter
