Yeah, good point. For any host you care about, that really is the
best/only way to go. You're right, I should have mentioned that too :) I
was really focussing in on how to see what's listening though :) You're
abosolutely right though, I'm glad you did bring that up :)

Yeah, it is a rather twisted thing :) That's a big part of my
job...sitting and staring at network traffic all the time, looking for
problems/attacks. The difference though is that I'm asked to do it
:) Well, actually to draw that analogy back to voyeurism...being asked to
watch might be just as deviant. Hmm, I'll just drop it now, LOL ;)
C ya :)
