Essentially, yes. A 'honeypot' in security jargon is any system that looks like an attractive target for intruders but which is in fact constructed specifically to attract the attention of anyone poking around looking for holes in a network. The honeypot is actually watched rather closely so that any would-be attackers are identified there instead of after they've found some other hole somewhere that might actually reach important systems. -- Bill Cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
