If anyone at an educational institution tells you that send them to UCLA http://www.math.ucla.edu/misc/smurf.html or Simon Fraser University http://www.cs.sfu.ca/CC/Hypermail/cmpt-471/0008.html or the RFC archive at USC's Information Sciences Institute ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2267.txt or the Computer Emergency Response Team at Carnegie Mellon University http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-98.01.smurf.html If those universities can handle the problem then all educational institutions should be able to fix this. -- Michael Dillon - Internet & ISP Consulting http://www.memra.com - E-mail: [email protected]
