I agree. It hasn't been discussed in depth, but it has been mentioned. And if I would have had some time available, I would have looked into it directly. Using capabilities in Linux, it should even be possible for a non-root process to even modify the routing table. (it would have to be started as root, though, but after dropping privileges) kind regards, David Sommerseth -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk9CdTAACgkQDC186MBRfrqRZwCfZ1YbL52vJuw/aG+sdiCCHOdC MCwAoK/zPwIh9rq2hiSZyN2gyeXiJhUj =41JO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
