Re: Hacked: Who Else Is Using Your Computer?

[Steve Kudlak <chromazine () sbcglobal net>]

If someone came and made themselves a polite guest I wouldn't mind. In 
fact a  pretty open computer protects me from lots of things.  "Well you 
see I have an open system and I have no ideas how those objectionable, 
questionable, illegal things got here." I mean that has seemed to work 
well as a defense for lots of sysadmins I knew,;)

That was the big problem I had with fully open systems which was keeping 
down the amountof questionable clutter that would accumulate. It was 
always a bit of an effort.

I dunno that original message did sound like an advert by some 
anti-virus company.  However castlecops are. I mean giggle sounds like 
someone who protects things for that creepy burger king guy. Gack they 
did revive trhe king thing!!!

Have Fun,
Sends Steve
