I thought it was getting a little off-topic, but OK. > On Tue, Oct 14, 2003 at 11:37:50AM -0400, J.

I'm told that there are actually VCR-like devices out there running linux; for all I know they could be debian-based. My particular situation is this: I'm using Debian for a UML box, running on the host as a regular user, and not allowing any remote logins (sshd, telnetd, etc. are not installed). If you describe a real security hole here, I'd be grateful for the help. --Bruce Fields -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
