It is some kind of "security by obscurity" but it might help over the two or three days until things can be patched and updated if necessary. Definitely it would lower the attractivity of the server to a hacker if a security issue is known. -tobbi _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
