What services do you have running? If you are not running rlogin,telnet,ssh,ftp then it is going to be very hard for them to attack you. Also if you run 'Higher' level security level then root log on is prohibited and they will have to break your user account password before breaking your root password. And I assume you are using 'strong' passwords (ones with random alpha and numeric characters) There are utilities which will quickly guess a weak password. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
