That machine was also run by an extremely security conscious system administrator. Anyone want to proffer up their machine for the beating that one took? You have to be damn sure of your skills in securing a machine (and the attached network) to taunt the world like that.

Re: [Re: [newbie] OT:Trolls - Past, Present and Future]
TeamWave Workplace is as good or better, without the security problems. Check about NetMeeting at www.insecure.org. Get someone to click on your Info, take over his computer! Also, Teaser/Firecat works and may someday replace ICQ and other messengers because it is a protocol negotiator, eventually choosing the best protocol to connect computers for the demands(text, phone, video feed, etc.). You can find it at www.freshmeat.net There are very few Teaser servers running as yet, though. Civileme Stephan Schutter wrote: > > > How do you do Net meeting or equivalent in LINUX?

Re: [Re: [newbie] OT:Trolls - Past, Present and Future]
As you mentioned, it is OT. There are even worse problems on the box, though. Remember, those of us who migrated, how you were asked if you wanted the dialer to remember your password? Those of you already canny about security said "No" and Windows stored it (unencrypted) anyway, but simply didn't link to it. But we're on Linux here and it takes quite something to get through the security even when passwords are known. The "You crack it, you keep it." contest LinuxPPC ran included as starting information the root password for their machine. No one broke it, and the prize is unclaimed.
