Hi Ken, He said, "There is no need for spoofing " so it wouldn't be that one. Jean, Respectfully: you're not well known to us as having identified earth shattering vulnerabilities in the past. We hear about utterly unimportant "priority one" events every single day, so without enough information to assess whether you're looking at is something new, important or even possible within our various architectures, few of us will be inclined to take you seriously. We're all too familiar with the consequence of giving credence to people who say "believe me" instead of offering verifiable fact. I respect that you're trying to help, but "I have something important to tell you, please contact me off list" is not the way to do that. And if it turns out we should have listened and kept this secret as long as possible, well, that's on us. ;) Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin ................ herrin () dirtside com bill () herrin us Owner, Dirtside Systems .........
