-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi2all The assumption that this is a bug its not clear, or not a bug at all, but at least is some lack of information from Symantec. The new Norton Internet Security 2000 based his firewall and several protections on AtGuard (from - the ex ? - www.atguard.com). In the page of AtGuard was/is information to inform the users that the product was no more suported, counting from some date (21th Dec99 ?), and they should upgrade to NIS since AtGuard was close to be part of Symantec. The old AtGuard users, as far as i know and correct me if i'm wrong at least about the trial version users, were not warned - nor in NIS instalation - that AtGuard must be removed before the NIS instalation, because if they do it later NIS stops working ok. Why? probably because of files with the same names or something like it, the fact is that you can not enable NIS protection if you dont uninstall AtGuard before installing NIS2k. This days i suppose its very simple to do a setup with some kind of date checking to avoid things like this to happend, so is it a bug or was i that just mess things again in nights that i cant sleep? =;o) Bacano Esoteric Pizza Research (CEO) bacano () esoterica pt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.1 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQA/AwUBOHtl1QdXUIK8lCqeEQK1UwCgg1VGqyFdjvJCXP9tq08Wmxaz9+EAmwZh VYEL1Z7t5YFKBG1xK1vt0OOg =SPnm -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
