Well you're giving up an otherwise great product. It's just your site then that is having this problem because mine works fine when I put it to C1 in that
file they tell you to change. I personally like leaving it at C2. Byt of course,
if the person can get root, he can change the file, un-su and re-su and be
a full root.
