I think symantec hired Stu Pid to work for them. How could anyone think that bpdir is a security hole?
bprsh allows you to do whatever command you want to run as root on any client but some steps are involved.
I demonstrated using bprsh to create a touch file but I could have used any command in place of touch.

Lu,
the bplist command can be used to see what folders/files are in a directory but it is an after the fact view of the image file.
