 TK> Yes. But some intelligence needed to detect garbage. :)

The malformed messages bypassed OpenXP's checks and balances  
even though there is a general pkt-format check.  So.. you're  
absolutely right.. more needs to be done. Otherwise, it looks  
like FTN can be hacked for worse outcomes very easily.
