=)I'm not a happy camper :-(.

	Sorry Rod and everyone, I never meant for this to be a long thread
in the first place.  I just thought someone might know how they got in.

=)Vince, I understand you have a security problem, could you please go
=)purchase 3 good books on security (thier should be at least 1 or 2
=)mentioned in the FreeBSD handbook, if not could someone on the
=)list please provide Vince a list of ORA books on security).  

	That would be a good idea too.  I just wished I had console access
to the machines.

=)I know this mailling list is for FreeBSD security related issues, but
=)the level of the questions and answerers being poised here is at the
=)fundemental level of unix system security and the answers can be found
=)in any good book.

	True, however I wasn't talking about stuff we already know about,
there are always unknown things it seems.
