But for someone to snoop the packet, he'd have to have access to one of the routers along the way. Besides returning bad info to you, he'd also be able to eavesdrop on all communication. The solution, of course, is encryption. Use ssh (rather than telnet), https (SSL), PGP, etc. -- Michael Best _______________________________________________ Masq maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Admin requests can be handled at http://www.indyramp.com/masq-list/ -- THIS INCLUDES UNSUBSCRIBING! or email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] PLEASE read the HOWTO and search the archives before posting.
