my laptop has two net interfaces, one wired and one wireless. they have different MAC addresses, but i configured my DHCP server to treat them the same so that i usually have the same IP no matter what card i use.
i just noticed a curious bit of possible security awkwardness. with my wired card, i established an ssh2 connection to another machine on my subnet, then i proceeded to swap the cards - and i could continue using my ssh2 session as soon as the new card received an IP (the same one). now i ask you - this smells like a problem to me, or not? shouldn't sshd at least worry about the MAC address too (can it?) just an IP is too easy to spoof (MAC are too i guess). martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- la lune, c'est comme les canards il faut aimer caresser les chats pour avoir envie d'y aller.
