Re: PFYs today
Only five or six years ago? Malicious archives and naive tools were a hazard when I was a PFY. Now that my beard is grey checking an archive's content before extracting is an ingrained habit. Back then there were unwashed illiterates who put some files in the archive to extract to the current working directory instead creating a new directory to put everything in.
Next you will be telling me people run 'make install' as root instead of 'make install DESTDIR=/var/tmp/sandbox' from an account that cannot access their home directory.
