I agree with all the points you made. I was trying to make a statement
against using terminal.app so that you don't open yourself to *already
existing* UNIX exploits. In other words, most of the script kiddies which
may be out there could potentially use old stand-bys to hack a new OSX
system if you drop down into the OS. Just a thought and possible warning.
