If this is getting to OT I apologize. I'm just outlining a few of the pitfalls and solutions I've found w/ running a server from home. --=20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brandon Niemczyk Public PGP Key ID: CAB3D8D6=20 hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --5vNYLRcllDrimb99 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD4DBQFAjWgT63Mn4Mqz2NYRAns+AJ9wC92+SF94P2caqtG7N/LsNaNsKQCYr10W NA5VVdFMcUG4NfKUbN2OCg== =elru -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --5vNYLRcllDrimb99--
