I've converted people just based on the fact they're tired of getting screwed by every new virus/worm/trojan that comes out. If you teach them to avoid using root the chances of getting a virus that does significant damage is pretty low in comparison. Of course this doesn't stop social engineering and you have to be careful they don't think it's a license to be careless, but it's an improvement. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
