Well give me your IP address, root password and Credit card number, and then see how trustworthy I am :-) Seriously :- At high security the msec security system will enforce file permissions quite strictly. People on high security often complain they set file permissions one way, and then a few minutes later they get changed. If 'High' works for you then fine. But be aware if 'weird' things happen it could be because of the security level. BTW: The security level is unrelated to the firewall. You can test your firewall here http://scan.sygatetech.com/ (Hmm How do you know that site does not contain malicious HTML designed to cause a buffer overflow in your browser and install a Trojan on your computer? - The best defence against that possibility is to not visit the site with Internet Explorer :-) derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
