That reply, as this one, was sent _only_ to the list. Apologies for assuming you must have cc'd Jerry. I should have checked your original post in freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 359, Issue 4, which shows any ccs, but not headers such as Reply-To: per message ..

Being a university, okstate.edu has students, most of whom are not in the CIS department or in any way under control of the CIS department's sysadmin. Need I say more? ------------------------------ Having admin'd small clubs of at most 25 members mostly using regularly virus-, trojan- and malware-infested Windows boxes, I can hardly imagine having to deal with perhaps half of 25,000 similarly vulnerable laptops, at least 1% of which will be trying hard to spam or portscan the planet at any given time - nearly all, as Martin points out, without intent or knowledge of their poor blighted owners .. and they're a smarter crew! cheers, Ian
