I disagree here. Look the three examples for host 'boell' I've typed a wrong password, host 'krampus' (a MS$ one) does not run SSH daemon and host 'krampuss' just does not exist: $ ssh boell guru@boell.sisis.de's password: Permission denied, please try again. $ ssh krampus ssh: connect to host krampus.Sisis.de port 22: Connection refused $ ssh krampuss ssh: Could not resolve hostname krampuss: hostname nor servname provided, or not known These are the normal world responses, at least of a SSH client in FreeBSD; I don't see any security hole, but in any of the three cases you know the error which has occured. ... > Active Directory LDAP schemes can be mis-configured and yet still appear > to work.

In the Exchange authentication fields of Evo (Edit-->Preferences-->MailAccount) I have to set following the advice of the server admins: Username: OCLC\apitzm I have no access to the Exchange server, but will check your hint with the admins there. > I have this issue at work, as for testing purposes my email address is > currently chuckop@exchange.microsoft.com, but the alias > chuckop@microsoft.com works as well.

Thanks for your kind help and I will let you know, of course matthias -- Matthias Apitz t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <guru@unixarea.de> - w http://www.unixarea.de/ People who hate Microsoft Windows use Linux but people who love UNIX use FreeBSD.
