Hrm, that may do it. I was thinking of a definition along the lines of "the software being used is the data most central to the work being done by the user," but that's needlessly complex and fails in the case of things like word processors. It handles the case of someone who tries to authenticate to use the software but fails (he doesn't actually send any commands). On the other hand, it seems to include Apache, which I, at least, don't think should be included. I'll have to think about this a bit. -- Jeremy Hankins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP fingerprint: 748F 4D16 538E 75D6 8333 9E10 D212 B5ED 37D0 0A03
