            That's right, I've never used Solaris... And damn proud of that, too!

            BUT...

            I sure CAN read the reports in the media about what caused the DDoS attacks
    in February & March... SunRPC!

            And Yes, NT/2000 has a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Service; but it has a
    different security setup, specifically to AVOID the mess Sun's RPC caused
    (unless you switch it to DCE cell security).

            Cheers!
            Dan
