Die-hards will only stop for real security controls, but you may find easier to impose such controls without a lot of noise from your security alarms. The real issue is when you start believing that you are as safe as the sheep think you are. Rubens ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Galbavy" <peter.galbavy () knowtion net> To: "E.B.
