Peter;
Unfortunately, this "NoStop" idiot does not seem to be able to come out
of the drug stupor he is in long enough to admit he is wrong. He continues
to rant like a spoilt child because someone would dare say anything negative
about his sacred Linux box. He is an insignificant little snot, and I
suggest you add him to your killfile as most of the regulars here have. He
adds nothing of any value anyway.

Really ? I did not say I administrate those Linux based machines. I do
Windows based machines at that client. Their IT person does their Linux
based. He also uses Linux and he has a pretty good knowledge of them. He has
mentioned a couple time over the last few months that he runs into
infections on his Linux system also
