-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone, There is a thread going on, on the sf-basics list about logon banners and legalities. The general consecutions seems to be one of two groups of thought; 1) If you put welcome in your logon on banner this could make you legally responsible if you are attacked (meaning the attacker can say, "well it said welcome".) 2) This is an urban legend and not really true. My question is can anyone provide links showing that there have been court cases decided upon this? I found a reference in one of my cisco design books but it does not provide links or any other cross-reference. Thx, Leon -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.8 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQA/AwUBPJwPi9qAgf0xoaEuEQIEQgCgwoZ32ySi8mNeMoudXCd0ixWxJOMAoP1f 9KOPrFlNkT49micLrbt5zEVz =fxWy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
