For the record, not to take a side: This is questionable. This practice is generally frowned upon (at least in OpenBSD/more security conscious-land). For example, see this recent thread on misc@: http://marc.info/?t=118279896000002&r=1&w=2 That said, you do have a point that, in practice, it will save you dealing with script-kiddies. Though there are probably other solutions involving filtering your logfiles to get rid of them, somehow. fyi -Nick _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
