Since it won't make a good firewall I have another suggestion: become a Trojan collector. That's right - just configure your S4 with samba and nothing else - stick it in plain Internet view and name it something like Warez_Server In the comments call it something like "NT 4.0 Server running SP1 - 120GB RAID5"
Imagine all the non-executable Trojans you will collect with this gag. Oh, be sure to have a writable share for the user "guest" to help embolden the script kiddies. -----Original Message----- From: Sam Penfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 07, 2002 4:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [TriLUG] sparc 4 hardware It only has one ethernet connection.
