Betreff: Re: [suse-security] Portscans

Dear Mike,

The thing is that rules and laws are different in all countries. In some
countries you have to really protect your property. There is basically
no protection from the police. In other countries you can just leave the
door open without being robed. But as the internet is something global,
it basically means that you have to protect your property yourself, how
bad it may sound.

Regulations from for instance for the US may apply also to Europe but
will it also apply for Libya, Iran, China and other countries?

Regards,

Joop Boonen.
