I am receiving so many hits a day because of this stupid Nimda worm and it's starting to have an effect on the reliability of my servers. For information purposes I am running Debian Linux servers. Any links/experiences/information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -- Leonard Leblanc Vice-President - Technology www.emergeknowledge.com
