From what I understand, something has to be listening on a port in order for
there to be a security vulnerability. So I think in this case, yes, SlimServer is the only possible security hole. AFAIK.

Now, here's where my lack of networking expertise comes into play ... if a port is open, but nothing's listening on it, or in this case, only SlimServer, is the only way into the network through that port, THROUGH Slimserver? -- jonheal Jon Heal says: Have a nice day! http://www.theheals.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jonheal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2133 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30564 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
