Yes. One customer's idea of "extremely urgent and important" does not, or at least should not, outweigh the danger to everyone else on the net from failure to keep one's system from getting pwn3d. Anyone depending on the public Internet for anything "extremely urgent and important" is being grossly stupid anyway. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
