I found out differently from other sources. Port 81 is typically used for secondary web servers and the attack was for that purpose. Linux secondary servers are not connected to the internet -- only primary servers sharing the incoming load are connected to the internet. Each server uses the same port -- they conduct their own operations. -- Note: When you reply to this message, please include the mailing list/newsgroup address and my email address in To:. ********************************************************************* Signed, SoloCDM
