I agree and use ssh, portsentry, and ipfwadm to slow things down. What I would
really like to do is rename the admin ID on my Qube2. The message on the GUI
indicates that it cannot be changed. That is the first thing I do on my Win2K
servers.
It appears that the admin id is so integrated into the overall Cobalt design
that it would be somewhat complicated to put it to sleep??
