Not yet, but when LSB kick in and it would be easy to install any program to any distro, situation may change. > if you let your computer infected, there is nothing a firewall can do. > it should be some sort of "apparmor" for Windows, monitoring wich > application do what. That is what most 'firewalls' for windows do. They call it firewall, as it sounds good, but it is actually proxy that monitors all traffic. ... > default openSUSE install are usually quite defensives and allow little > open ports and little running servers (I'm not even sure that sshd is > running by default) It is not enabled by default. > >> access must be done on the host: > >> > >> * by a standard protocol (smb, ssh, ftp, http...) accepted by a server > >> * by two applications sharing the same port > > > > yes that is the procedures.. > > so what is the server you fear to be broken? ... Don't forget that there is few computers in M9 network wireless. and problem can come from that side too. They are part of internal network, they probably have enabled ad hoc wireless and if some neighbor has no wireless access point it can without knowing what he is doing connect to any windows computers in range. If he has viruses they will find the way in. Taking how easy most of windows users dismiss firewall popups it opens unlimited possibilities. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
