Or not. Here are a few notable quotes, for people too busy to read the entire thread: "Wonderful- they're letting people 'peer' into their network. This will obviously just become another option for script kiddies to exploit. Us sysadmins go through years of training to SECURE systems, and now they go and let people peer into them. I bet they let people take files, too. Just like those piracy programs, but worse. Doesn't the thought of someone peering at your hard drive make anyone else nervous?" "Last I checked, AOL *only* 'peers' at MAE East, and refuses to private-peer with anyone, with the possible exception of Exodus. So I doubt they'd wanna play ball with UUNet anyway [...]" Heh. Further proof that Slashdot is (with a few exceptions, of course) an excellent example of the blind leading the blind. ;) -adam
