Ray:
&lt; Crag:
&lt;&gt; If all calls to $sys.eval, $sys.compile, and all methods on $sys
&lt;&gt; which modify ,admins are logged, then Ray/Ashs senario is
&lt;&gt; invalid. The time of modifying $sys.log and/or $sys,admins will be
&lt;&gt; in the log.
&lt;
&lt; Mmm, yoeh if mods to log were logged (besides perhaps being
&lt; recursive?) then you'd be able to see the hole.  

No, there wouldn't be any hole, since it would sequence like so:

  $sys.compile() is called with the code for $sys.log
    $sys.compile() logs being called and the vital stats (who, what, when, etc)
    $sys.compile() compiles the method.

No recursion...

(as for beating this into the ground, what else do we have to do? :)
