Enjoying all the benefits of such a setup right now. While we are at it, why not firewall off the whole Net by just allowing a few things through proxies like www and ftp just so that a few morons are safe? Anyways, who would use such esoteric things as "cvsps" or "cvsup" and what are these etc. You can see where this is leading. Unfortunately network administration only looks simple if you are the one sitting at the admin console. Otherwise, it can quickly become a set of annoying limitations that hinder you @work or @play. Cool. I really feel like paying a lot for Internet access with these conditions. In the meantime, I guess most virus infections are due to the fact that (l)users go to really great lenghts to open anything that says "Big tits inside" or "Check out this nice music." today, it's email. Tomorrow, it will likely be mobile devices. The day after tomorrow... who knows? Sorry for the OT, but I really felt I needed to tell this some time... not all FreeBSD/UNIX afficionados are sysops at the same time, much less network ops at their place. -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szeged University Szeged Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
