[ILUG] The roots of: is libxml(2) insecure?

[Laur Ivan]

..I should explain where I'm coming from: I'm writing a wireless configuration 
daemon with the following capabilities:
 - support for multiple APs
 - automatic detection of in-range APs and network reconfiguration
 - capability of automatic reconfig of the network (transparently ?) in 
certain situations (i.e. laptop moved, AP went down etc.)
 - capability to connect to "non-preferred" (?) APs (e.g. once off cafes)

The end result of this will be a config rc script and a binary daemon. One can 
see the similarity with netapplet/netdaemon..

My reasons for doing it are (in no particular order):
 - d-bus looks promising (don't know if it's over-hyped)
 - windows has it
 - i'm tired of copying files ifup/ifdown and changing profiles
 - none of the alternatives I've looked at cover the auto-part. so if your 
place has multiple APs and your fav one goes belly-up (it happened to me 
quite a few times now), you need to get a new profile up... and so on.

The config would be generated by a GUI and read/used by a binary and needs to 
have at least 2 hierarchical levels. ..and that's why I thought of XML :)
