Then you could claim that your machine must have been infected (unknowingly, of course) by the 'anti Code Rede' worm. Just think, millions of un*x servers dynamically shutting down infected nt servers. Hmm.., what would be the sysadmins complaint..."I have a right to infect you and can't stop me!?" Or, my virus is allowed to infect your machine but your virus is not allowed to infect my machine? The possibilities are quite entertaining. :) ========================================================= Jim Freeze jim@freeze.org --------------------------------------------------------- No comment at this time. http://www.freeze.org ========================================================= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
