There are a number of possible reasons for this. 1) the attackers have realised that no-one in their right mind would store anything valuable on a windope server. 2) the attackers are bored silly with the ease of breaking into microstuffed servers and are looking for a challenge. 3) the windrunk servers were so severely rooted that their access logs no longer recorded anything useful and this was considered to mean no break in had occurred (I believe this is covered in the Microsoft Certification) Regards, Tim. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
