There are known rootkits that will flash the BIOS to insert themselves into the boot process, so the concern was if code can be flashed, could other data be living in there somewhere? Either accidentally or on purpose?
If you suspect these machines have already been root-kitted, I suggest to you that whatever amount of data that could be stored in the bios is the very least of your worries. I also suspect you've gone way over the edge, and are sliding down that slippery slope into paranoia. Evil Plan: Lets sneak a root kit onto Lew's machine, capture and hide some secret info in there, and then sit back and wait 5 years till he surpluses the machines and then: PROFIT!!!. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
