They definitely are paying attention, and have tried to reproduce the problem. I, however, can give very little credibility to a hacker that sends a program to thousands of people, trying to get them to run it, claiming that it is a patch. The standard procedure when finding a security hole is to inform the company that makes the product, give them time to fix it, and then post information about the hole. Bypassing the step of informing the company is very unprofessional, and sending a patch that is almost certainly a trojan horse -- well I'll let everyone come to their own conclusion about that one. FWIW, Ipswitch has a very good track record in dealing with *legitimate* security holes. -Scott - ___________________________________________________________________ Virus Scanned and Filtered by http://www.FamHost.com E-Mail System.
