On the screen i recieved a message Security Check: INTRUDER ALERT this prompted my immediate attention. 1) what does this mean? 2) i type w and got a listing of those logged in and things seemed o.k. as of yet i have n extra measures set up to inhibit intruders...so i think tjis was a message sent by FreeBSD itself. any comments and help with this would be greatly appreciated. -Timothy --Is It Live .. or Is It Mimecon-- +-----------------------> *)(* WireHead *)(* <-----------------------+ |Feed the NOiSe in2 the .SYS fone: 616.349.8044| |Please end destructive fax : 616.373.6680| | nuclear testing http://arbornet.org/~wirehead| | !
