Telling the world how to hack the systems of people who don't watch the lists or don't have enough time to patch a network of systems? 24 hours is not enough time for people to get the patch implemented. You would be personally sentencing people and their business to death by doing this. Would you like it if you were sick for two days and came back to find your network toast because someone pulled a stunt like that? -Sean ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean J.
