The experiments and code that I present are published in good faith. That being said, any code can contain flaws that could cause harm to your systems. Take the time to try things out in a virtual machine (VMWARE or something like it). What works for my servers may not work for you, that is part of the learning curve when you work with computers, networking and coding. I find it challenging and fun. Always test things out before "going Live" and putting it on your main server or PC. Here is the full Disclaimer.
