Naming of particular products or brands should not be seen as

You are strongly recommended to make a backup of your system
before installing Bugzilla and at regular intervals thereafter.
If you implement any suggestion in this Guide, implement this one!

Although the Bugzilla development team has taken great care to
ensure that all easily-exploitable bugs or options are
documented or fixed in the code, security holes surely exist.
Great care should be taken both in the installation and usage of
this software. Carefully consider the implications of installing
other network services with Bugzilla. The Bugzilla development
team members, Netscape Communications, America Online Inc., and
any affiliated developers or sponsors assume no liability for
your use of this product. You have the source code to this
product, and are responsible for auditing it yourself to ensure
your security needs are met.
