Gee, I guess I take my rights, er, priviledges for granted.  I think 
Prometheus said he had a precompiled client.  Sounds like your site has some 
paranois security, though admittidly, restricting access to the compiler 
would *reduce* a lot of problems, especially among the cookbook crackers who 
just run magic code (and scripts) to do their dirty work...

Good Luck.  If you happen to find any good telnettable IRC's, post them 
here...
