That's not a misstatement. For the uninitiated, an SSP is a program that has advanced running environment rights.
Some administrators get really concerned when folks try to install SSPs.
I like the right of knowledge and final refusal, which means I like to know what's being loaded on my box. If I trust the vendor and know what's going on, it's not an issue. If you don't have your system secured as I did, you won't have any problems. But, I think you should be aware that there are a couple of SSP machine interface programs in the package. Frankly, I had a good history with the previous releases of this product, so I wasn't too concerned.
