Rhetorical question? Linux does have a catchy pronunciation but I understand the frustration. The description of how snort is used to block p2p (Kazaa in this case) looks identical to the recent reports on how China's firewall works with an auxiliary system sending RST TCP commands to the source and destination. The reported work around was to block incoming RST packets (accepting the side affects) on both sides but I find it unlikely many Kazaa users will be quite that sophisticated. This does make for another step in a continuing arms race. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
