It's got an uptime of 5 years 142 days. It seemed all fun and games when people were reporting these long linux uptimes, but you have to admit, it's just as vulnerable to attacks as Windows, and maybe more so due to how easy it is to leave ports open for ssh login and obtain shell access by various methods. Getting administrator privileges on Windows is probably more tricky. -- End Of The Line BBS - Plano, TX telnet endofthelinebbs.com 23 --- SBBSecho 3.37-Linux * Origin: End Of The Line BBS - endofthelinebbs.com (21:2/101) .
