Have you looked at the software offered at the URL in the message I sent first? I think my "thivars@est.is" email address is in one html page at our server, if it is there after we switched the web pages out last summer. I have noticed some (I think) automated traffic in the nighttime and in the moring that is not coming from the large search engines like AltaVista or others. I belive that we will get lot of request by such mini search engines that will crawl the web for email addresses and that will be used to spam us in near future. We did block finger to our network from outside with very strange results. In just one month the finger requests droped down from thousands to within 10 I think per day. All the requests came from just few source addresses. -- Þórður Ívarsson Thordur Ivarsson Rafeindavirki Electronic technician Norðurgötu 30 Nordurgotu 30 Box 309 Box 309 602 Akureyri 602 Akureyri Ísland Iceland --------------------------------------------- FreeBSD has good features, Some others are full of unwanted features! ---------------------------------------------
