KEY PHRASE IN YOUR STATEMENT = but if your ftp server has a bug or SMTP server is misconfigured IF and are most "user level" ( which XP most certainly is ) installs running services that can be directly accessed and a remote manipulation possible? i see IF certain conditions exist... the issue is default state, non firewalled remotely ( lan or wan ) manipulatable access before a local login has taken place.
