Some firewalls that don't do proper connection tracking can be bypassed that way. With a properly configured iptables firewall this shouldn't be a problem. ipchains based firewalls are more likely to fall victom to this trick. Treat it the same as any other attempt to break into your systems. -- Blars Blarson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.blars.org/blars.html "Text is a way we cheat time." -- Patrick Nielsen Hayden
