I'm sure they do.  They've created a box in which they've carefully
weighted ease-of-use against security, and they've come up with a box
that's certainly not as secure as some of us would like.

Some of us have created patches to secure Cobalt RaQs even better than
the default configuration.

We have a security package available for Cobalt RaQs as do some other
people that frequent this and other lists.

For more information you should write me offlist.
