I can try bu I am not interested. Contrary to all the hackers out there...

I am not sure I understand. Why is the "/in" directory not subject to flooding? Or does that have special meaning in linux?

And there most likely won't be. It is not worth the effort. Remember that standards document "current practise". So someone has to get it to actually work first.


Cheers, Michiel
