I'd change that to "In the Internet as stupid admins would like it to be". Identd is the stupidest security-related protocol and had I not seen it keep being mentioned for almost 20 years I wouldn't have believed it still being used for anything else but waste of time and network bandwidth. Does anyone here run an identd server or trust its replies? --Amos (This is nothing against Geoffrey, he was just describing an existing situation). ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
