Brian, In reguards to the "security test" that you got from http://www.robrob8.com/online_security.htm, It was nothing but a prank that would affect a windows user. here is how he did it. <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0"> <meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document"> <META http-equiv="refresh" content="1; url=file:///C:/"> <title>YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM HAS FAILED! ACCESS HAS BEEN GRANTED</title> </head> <body background="images/back.gif"> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"> </p> <table border="4" width="100%" bordercolor="#FF0000" cellpadding="5" bgcolor="#FFFF00"> <tr> <td width="100%"> <p align="center"><font color="#FF0000" face="Verdana" size="6">ACCESS GRANTED</font> <p align="center"><font face="Verdana" size="4">YOUR DRIVE C WILL NOW BE DISPLAYED</font></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> By looking at the code (above) of the page right before you find out "your security system has failed" you can see be the HTML that the page is told to refresh to your C: drive. Kind of like pressing this link- file:///C:/ (if your a windows user). You have nothing to worry about your perfectly secure. Hope this eases your mind ;-) philip ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Brian and Myrna" To: Subject: New to Unix Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2000 22:56:46 -0800 I am sure that you get a lot of these types of questions so here goes. I am completely new to Unix. I downloaded your software and had no trouble installing it. My question is, now that I have this stuff installed what do I do with it? In other words I realize that the free bsd will act as a firewall but other than that I don't know what to do with it. I have been looking at your manual a little bit but am not very confident in myself in regards to this type of stuff. I know this is very broad but do you get where I'am going? Please respond to mailto:bryhartline@hotmail.com PS.. This was extremely easy to install, it basically took care of itself and one other question. I went to two different sites to check my security after I installed this. The first site said my security wasd poor. It was able to open up my C drive, it was at http://www.robrob8.com/online_security.htm. The second one gave me a great report and stated that my security was very good and it was at http://grc.com/. Any suggestions? I am eager to learn a little more about the Unix environment! Thank you very much! _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.
