Gee, that's nice...

Too bad virus checkers cannot be configured to NOT send a message to the 
originator when it is "well known" that the virus/worm/whatever masquerades 
as "someone else" from the actual infectee's address book...  [otoh, since 
the person(s) infected has the freeradius-users address in their address 
book, it is quite likely they'll have received this message by virtue of the 
fact it was echoed to the list]

Always sage advice :)

[and yes, the same is true for linux/unix/mac/os/2 and just-plain-DOS users as 
well -- just because they aren't popular targets does NOT mean that they are 
invulnerable...]
