Re: blocking trough MAC Address

2002-10-29 Thread Sasha Nedvedicky
one note to this topic:
anyone, who has root access to machine atteched to LAN, can setup
any arbitrary MAC address to ethernet interface by using ifconfig 
command.

so building access/accounting rules upon MAC addresses does not 
guarantee 
enhanced security/reliability, as some people would expect.
