RE: [cobalt-developers] I need "Admin" with "Root" FTP Permissions

I'm glad this point was raised albeit via sarcasm. I believe the intent of
the response was to point out a glaring security hole existent in the
default setup. Thanks! The suggestion is to edit the default setup and use
different passwords for "root" and "admin" and well worth the price of
admission to this list. Sounds like a good idea to me.

And what do you use for ftp sessions - another user id?
