Hello,
I was just surfing the internet when I got a security alert, stating
that I am broadcasting an IP address and that my PC could be getting
unwanted visitors.
the site is not bogus. they do have a good firewall called Internet Alert
which does in fact work. however, i doubt that it would work with Linux.
not sure though. there are places where you can test your security online.
if anyone wants to know the address, let me know.

Marco,
I'm not positive what you saw, but it sounds like you got a pop-up
message from some web site trying to sell you something. An

turn off pop-up windows.

Isn't identity theft from paper trails bad enough? Now we'll all have to wear

When you install a fresh copy of LM 8.2 and you set it to 'higher'
security through the installation you can get different sequrity options
for the users and for the system. When i tried this a few weeks back i
could not login directly as root (sure that was because of the

need to guess the correct X-Windows password, but
given the lame passwords many users pick this is
hardly a high enough barrier."
