For those of you who are using my alert.sh script for
intrusion detection, there is a new version out, 1.4.3.
The only difference is I have eliminated the TrackDown()
feature.  This is the function that would determine the
email of the admin responsible for the remote system and
email them a scan warning. I have removed this function 
because it no longer works.  The whois database has 
radically changed, making automated lookups far more 
involved, and beyond the scope of my script.

For those of you using version 1.4.2 or older, no need
to upgrade.  However, the "Email Remote System" known
as the TrackDown() function will no longer work, so you
might as well disable it if you are using it.

# EMAIL REMOTE SYSTEM
# Define as "true" if you want to automatically email
# the remote admin when you reach your scan limit.
email=false

Thanks to Chris Whiting <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for pointing
this out.
