Fair points. Except for #3, which I really wouldn't want to rely on for a moment. After all, it's often the case that when a new worm breaks out, most machines are up-to-date (with the patches that existed up until that point) and there's a mad scramble to get a new patch out. One packet can be all it takes. I would never expose a naked machine to the internet for any time at all unless I *wanted* it to get something nasty! cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
