Please pardon me while I wipe this egg off my face. :)

My apologies Mark. Please feel free to publicly flog me if you wish.

Chuckle. :)

But you did manage to prompt me to remove that obsolete warning
from the --security-* commands in hdparm. They are rather well tested
at this point in the game.

hdparm-9.31 is now released, with some fixes to --security,
and with the nasty warnings mostly removed.

Thanks!
