We must fight spam for the same reason we fight crime: not because we
are naive enough to believe that we will ever stamp it out,

Subject: Re: How to Keep Data Out of Hackers' Hands Message-ID: <barmar-D6ECA1.10554908082014@news.eternal-september.org> One of the late night comics (Jimmy Kimmel, I think) expressed what I suspect is a common feeling: "Change all my passwords? I'd rather have my identity stolen." -- Barry Margolin, barmar@alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me *** |

And when you enable it, it doesn't use the same default username/password as is available from the LAN. -- Barry Margolin, barmar@alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me *** |
