Which means that even a single box in someone's home (windows OR UNIX) can be "usefull" as a source if its compromised. The problem here is that there really is nothing that can be done to help this since its a matter of keeping the server secure. Do you know anyone who wants to train 250 million people in computer security? And of those 250 million, how many of them even care? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wayne Bouchard [Immagine Your ] [email protected] [Company Name Here] Network Engineer ----------------------------------------------------------------------
