I think he is using my system as a front/slave. For now, I have killed psybnc, deleted the directory of stuff that he put in, and changed my password. Is that any good? Can there be a real vaccination built in to FreeBSD? -- Wayne M Barnes stabilizer@klentaq.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
