This is not a linux only question, but I have been trying to get on top of security problems.
There was a commercial "alert" at a website I was visiting. It said that my PC was broadcasting my internet address. It took me to a site selling a windows product called Internet Alert. I thought that my address was always visible to websites that I visited - how else can it send back information? Is this just one of the scare tactics that seem to be prevalent? -- ------------------------------------------------------ Alan L Tyree [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.law.usyd.edu.au/~alant Tel: +61 2 4782 2670 Mobile: +61 419 638 170 Fax: +61 2 4782 7092 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
