I have told LS to allow Terminal to connect to any machine on any port, and yet every time I try to ping or telnet or ssh, I get a dialog.

I've really only been having annoyingly intrusive issue with Terminal, and sometimes with Safari. Mail, for example, hasn't asked me for anything except permission to load remote images (which I deny). -- Something wonderful, if you took the log view, was about to happen. If you took the short or medium view, something horrible was about to happen. It's like the difference between seeing a beautiful new star in the winter sky and actually being close to the supernova. It's the difference between the beauty of morning dew on a cobweb and actually being a fly. --Reaper Man _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
