On page 72, there's an article called "Witty, technical Win95 comebacks" that lists the Top 10 Reasons _Not_ to Migrate to Windows 95. Reason #7 says: "Win95 and Windows for Workgroups have a major TCP/IP bug that allows anyone running Linux or FreeBSD with Samba to access the entire drive of any machine that is sharing a directory. Even firewalled networks seem to have some susceptibility. This bug was posted to the 'Bugtraq' list." -Jim Dennis, system administrator, McAfee Associates Inc. Not exactly a major coup, but every little but helps, I guess. (As an aside, Reason #8 says: "Because InfoWorld says only lemmings upgrade, and I always do what InfoWorld tells me." :) -Bill -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~T~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Møøse Illuminati: ignore it and be confused, or join it and be confusing! ~~~~~~ "Welcome to All Things BSDish!
