MOOs are hardly security problems.  Normally, there is no access to files or
network connections.  This can be changed tho, and that is when MOOs begin
to become a threat.  The only thing that might be a problem is people
logging into the machine instead of the MOO and then doing something bad.
I've never heard of this happening...
