No - thank you - it looked like you were getting frustrated in your last
e-mail.
Test your system:
- port scan: sygatetech.com
- vulnerability test: edgeos.com
You could get on IRC and have some PLUG member run nmap and nessus
against you - pretty much the same thing. nessus is enlightening. If
comp A is configured correctly, all that will happen is the logs will
grow. If it is not . . . better you know now than later :)
For anyone who thinks security is not important, I invite you to check
out my newest web page, which is updated weekly (I love expect) which
shows how many port scans/attacks I get each week. Yes, I was attacked
by an adept hacker (pre-arranged). Site:

Excellent vulnerability tests can be found at
http://edgeos.com. I know
he (Jay) plugs PLUG and AZIPA, but seriously, he's got an excellent
service. Part with the $20 and know that your system is safe, or find
out it is not and take action. Better to know you are unsafe than think
you are when you are not,
