Really? You choose the _least exploitable_ service to raise that red herring? I never asked for postfix on this laptop, yet there it is listening on port 25 on ALL interfaces? What happens when I take down the firewall? Why is it listening on ALL interfaces when its only (stated) reason for being here is to service cron jobs? -- If stupidity got us into this mess, then why can't it get us out? - Will Rogers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
