Wha??? There's a difference between exploitable and sniffable. RPC doesn't use encryption, except for something Sun cooked up with DES. I don't know the details. Besides that, ssh has _way_ different uses than RPC. (of course, you could write a remote shell kind of program using rpc, but why bother? No such thing exists now, but ssh kicks ass.) -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , ns.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
