frank, this is not a kindergarden list. this not a housewife support list. this is a security list, this a full disclousure list. period. any adequate member of this list should and must apply security fixes and patches by himself/herself, after testing. if there is no patches released meanwhile, he/she should be reasonable adequate to take measures to mitigate attack vectors until fixes is released. allowing third party technician to access your system and installing unverified paches is a serious security issue. willem -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
