Re: [squid-users] disabling version number

Personally I agree with Florian.
I think hiding the version number makes it difficulter for a hacker to do
his job.
For that reason many software makes it possible to hide the versionnumber,
for example Apache and ProFTPD.

But anything may think what he/she wants. :))

Personally I am against such option, but that is my opinion..
