Some, yes. I also worry about who's going to be able to execute `ping -f' on *my* machines, should they make it through, and try to make it as hard as possible. Leaving ports open because you don't know better does not constitute making nasty people's life harder. ~Tim -- 20:12:08 up 4 days, 16 min, 17 users, load average: 0.02, 0.04, 0.00 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Windows 98 is year 2000-ready http://piglet.is.dreaming.org |(seen during a recent, >y2000, installation)
