How about making the lines come alive to strangle them when they do this [fecal activity]? At any rate, I appreciate the wealth of helpful tips here, and I have decided to do thus: 1) Eliminate all passwords for login accounts unless said account is also chrooted. 2) Keep ssh off of port 22 and use a different port. Also disable the V1 algorithm. 3) become a expert with iptables and use it with impunity. 4) sequester a handful of ICBMs to take care of any would-be cracker that dares cross my path in the future. And the armed nuclear warheads will be a mere courtesy detail. I'll look forward to meeting them in future lifetimes -- where the fun really begins! Just when I started making real money with my servers does this shit have to happen. Do these idiot crackers realize I am feeding my family and paying my mortgage off of this? Oh well, some will say that I'm to blame, that I should've secured and locked down my servers before. Yeah, I guess. But really. When I create the anti-death technology I long to create in the future, I'll make sure the crackers will be excluded from this benefit. Indeed, I'll make sure that the nanotechnology has a built-in exclusion for crackers, and if anything it'll make them age faster, not slower. In fact, the rate of increase of aging will be directly proportional to the *square* of the number of machines they've infected. So, comma, if you ever see a person violently implode from a sudden onslaught of old age, you'll know why. Gotcha, sucker! ;-) > _______________________________________________ > gnhlug-discuss mailing list > gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org > http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
